An Honest Man in Action

"The Kui cattle? Isn't it the authentic spirit bloodline flowing in the bodies of the two unlucky girls?" Fang Jinyu was shocked at first, but then he quickly took out the Discipline Pearl.

Inner energy appeared on Fang Jinyu's fingertips, and with a light swipe, the scene recorded before disappeared.

...

Fang Jinyu accidentally obtained control over the Discipline Pearl on a certain day. He could delete everything inside it perfectly, and not even a bit of inner energy would be left behind.

As soon as Fang Jinyu closed the Discipline Pearl, a blue-white arc of light surged out of his body.

The lightning flickered and could even burn one's eyes.

It made Fang Jinyu subconsciously use his inner energy. As the inner energy within his body surged, the power of lightning that was already intertwined within it exploded.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The entire alchemy room seemed to have been plowed instantly, and there were burn marks everywhere.

"Moo-roar!"

It sounded like a cattle's roar and a tiger's roar. It seemed to erupt from the deep sea, and the Kui cattle's roar completely awakened Fang Jinyu's authentic spirit bloodline!

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning that looked like a lightning tribulation appeared in the alchemy room.

"Damn!"

Fang Jinyu suddenly glanced in the direction of the alchemy furnace, and he immediately turned into a shadow and ran out of the alchemy room. As soon as Fang Jinyu stepped out, the alchemy room behind him collapsed.

The violent shaking spread throughout the entire peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li".

…

An hour later, Fang Jinyu was forced to leave the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li" with a huge debt.

The explosion of the spiritual alchemy furnace affected the alchemy rooms around it. Although there were no casualties, Fang Jinyu had to compensate 100000 spirit stones.

Thanks to Fang Jinyu's talent in alchemy, he only needed to send the required spirit stones to Mount Lingyao within ten years. It was fine for him to owe it to Mount Lingyao for now.

"Isn't a spiritual alchemy furnace too expensive? A mere low-tier spiritual alchemy furnace can be exchanged for half of a Foundation Establishment Elixir…."

Fang Jinyu pondered whether he should continue to be a part-time alchemist.

Among the hundred cultivation arts, alchemy, weapon refinement, and formation techniques were strong candidates for the champion on the list. Of course, the most profitable business was alchemy.

"Martial Uncle Fang, the Foundation Establishment Elixir costs 40000 spirit stones now. The price of the low-tier spiritual alchemy furnace hasn't increased yet. In fact, due to the recent addition of the core spirit ore mine that produced the ore required to make the alchemy furnace, the current price has dropped by 500 spirit stones." At this moment, a man's voice came from a few steps away.

As the man said it, he sighed.

Fang Jinyu had sensed someone approaching long ago, but he didn't care. After all, he was at the foot of Mount Lingyao, and disciples often visited here. When he heard the voice, memories related to the person subconsciously appeared in his mind.

It turned out to be a friend of the former Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu looked over, cupped his fists, and said, "Junior Brother Xu, we're friends. Why do you have to call me Martial Uncle? Of course, I won't mind if you insist on calling me that."

The newcomer was a young man named Xu Jing, who was quite famous among the Qi Condensation stage disciples. He was quite talented in cultivation. Although he didn't have a Tianling spiritual root, he had double-elemental spiritual roots. However, he was too obsessed with array formations, which delayed his cultivation.

However, Xu Jing didn't waste his time either, as his attainments in array formations had long been known throughout the Tianling Sect. Usually, the Tianling Sect disciples would come to Xu Jing to ask him for help setting up the spirit gathering formation.

In addition to Xu Jing's handsome appearance, many female Foundation Establishment stage cultivators took a liking to him.

"Senior Brother Fang!" Xu Jing also laughed, but it was obvious that he was relieved.

After all, it was difficult for a friendship between Qi Condensation stage cultivators to last until the Foundation Establishment stage unless they had broken through to it together. In the cultivation world, it was not unusual for good friends of several decades to stop contacting each other after one party broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage. It was common.

The saying goes, "Don't forget your friends when you're rich." However, in reality, friends would only go through bad situations together.

"Did Junior Brother Xu encounter any trouble?" Fang Jinyu asked. Xu Jing was on good terms with the former Fang Jinyu. One was a passable bystander with mediocre skill, while the other was a master of array formations and well-known among the Qi Condensation stage disciples. They were opposites and shouldn't have had anything in common. However, the former Fang Jinyu was kind and valued promises, so Xu Jing put down his status and took the initiative to befriend him.

After all, it would only be good for Xu Jing to have an honest and trustworthy friend.

Fang Jinyu was well aware of it, but he didn't mind.

It was because the nature of friends was to use each other.

"It's all because of the Foundation Establishment Elixir.…" Xu Jing stated with a bitter smile. He had been obsessed with array formations and used most of his spirit stones to study them. Otherwise, he would have broken through the Foundation Establishment stage with his dual-element spiritual roots.

To have more energy to study array formations, Xu Jing cultivated techniques that didn't have strong combat power but had few bottlenecks and increased his inner energy at an extremely fast rate.

Such a low-tier technique was also the first choice for people like Xu Jing.

However, even such a low-tier technique requires time and effort to cultivate. As for Xu Jing, he had only recently broken through to rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage because he had been too distracted by studying array formations.

At this point, Xu Jing could start preparing to break through the Foundation Establishment stage.

Originally, Xu Jing had prepared 30.000 spirit stones. However, when he wanted to go to Yuan City to buy it, he found that the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixir had soared to 40000 spirit stones, which he could get as a disciple of the Tianling Sect.

He would have had to pay another 5000 spirit stones if not for that.

"Can't you exchange it for merit points?" After Fang Jinyu finished speaking, he realized he was in good condition and couldn't understand people in bad condition.

It was easy for Fang Jinyu to exchange for merit points, but it was extremely difficult for a Qi Condensation stage cultivator to do it unless he became an alchemist.

However, Xu Jing's reply surprised Fang Jinyu.

"Senior Brother Fang, you may not know it, but even though the Grandmaster pities us for our hard cultivation, countermeasures can still be taken!" Xu Jing sighed again and said, "As soon as the Grandmaster gave the decree, the families in the sect exchanged for all the Foundation Establishment Elixirs. Even if the Grandmaster sets a limit in advance so that they can't exchange for all of them, the remaining 30 Foundation Establishment Elixirs' owners have already been selected internally. We'll directly offend those noble cultivation families if we want to exchange for it."

"They are going too far!" Fang Jinyu could not help but frown. He knew that the cultivation families had a monopoly on cultivation resources, but he didn't expect them to be so greedy.

"It's all because of the price increase in Foundation Establishment Elixirs this year. It's still fine here because we have enough Foundation Establishment Elixirs in our sect and because the prices in the nearby markets haven't increased much. I heard from my senior sisters that the price of Foundation Establishment Elixirs in some immortal cities has skyrocketed to 70000 spirit stones, and the increase is continuing." Xu Jing shook his head.

Hearing it, Fang Jinyu pondered for a moment, then said, "Junior Brother Xu, I have some Foundation Establishment Elixirs with me. If you help me with something, I'll give you one as a repayment."

I'm Loyal to the Sect, Do You Believe Me?

The price of the Foundation Establishment Elixir was already skyrocketing. Some noble cultivation families that had been prepared for it were trying their best to control the outflow of the Foundation Establishment Elixir while raising the price. Even the Yuan City Market near the Tianling Sect had its price rise to 50000 spirit stones.

It was because the cultivators from other places had found that the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs in the Yuan City Market hadn't increased by a shocking amount. They had used their connections or traveled thousands of miles to come here.

...

The arrival of these cultivators caused the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs to rise by another 5000 spirit stones.

After all, demand determines the market.

The situation also delighted the people in the Yuan City Market. The cultivators of the Tianling Sect didn't really need the Foundation Establishment Elixirs and made the elixirs they had hoarded in advance useless.

Cultivators like Xu Jing, who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, were rare.

Although Xu Jing earned less money by setting array formations than people did by refining elixirs, it was still better than working for the Tianling Sect! Otherwise, Xu Jing would have needed more time to save 30000 spiritual stones.

However, the people in charge of Yuan City Market only be delighted for two days before they found that they couldn't sell the Foundation Establishment Elixirs they had.

"What's going on?"

The Qin family had directly sent someone to question him.

The Qin family naturally occupied a part of Yuan City Market. Although most of the business was with Qi Condensation stage cultivators, they had earned a lot of spirit stones every year!

After all, it was near the Tianling Sect, one of the six great immortal sects of Nine Desolations!

It caused the people sent by the Qin family to be extremely puzzled. Even if the prices in the markets in other places rose to 70000 to 80000 spirit stones, not only were they able to sell them, but they were also in short supply. Why couldn't Yuan City Market sell it for 50000 spirit stones?

Since the people sent by the owner had arrived, the person in charge of the Qin family's business in the Yuan City Market naturally didn't dare to delay and quickly went to gather information. It wasn't a secret and even caused chaos in the Tianling Sect. Therefore, the person in the Qin family in charge of the Yuan City Market only needed one Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir to know the whole story.

"What kind of a cowardly alchemist is he?!" When the person in charge of the Qin family's business in the Yuan City Market heard it, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but curse.

Upon hearing his words, the Qi Condensation stage disciple of the Tianling Sect who had received the Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir from him was unhappy. He replied with a gloomy expression, "Martial Uncle Fang is a kind person. What are you saying?"

Although he was only ranked 5 in the Qi Condensation stage and didn't need the Foundation Establishment Elixir, he still admired a kind person like "Martial Uncle Fang."

After all, even when the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixir was skyrocketing, "Martial Uncle Fang" was still selling it for 30000 spirit stones. He even introduced the method of exchanging spiritual items.

As long as cultivators took out the spiritual item that "Martial Uncle Fang" wanted, cultivators could sell it for 50% higher than the market price.

In other words, a spiritual item that was originally worth 20000 spirit stones could be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Elixir from "Martial Uncle Fang."

Regarding spirit stones, each disciple who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage might not have many with them, but they might have one or two special spiritual items.

After all, no one was willing to sell good things. They were all kept for their use.

The person in charge of the Qin family's business in the Yuan City Market was embarrassed. Although he was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he didn't dare to attack a Qi Condensation stage disciple in the Tianling Sect.

Moreover, people like him paid particular attention to amiability to make money.

Even a disciple who ranked 1 in the Qi Condensation stage could be rude to him as long as he could benefit him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the person in charge of the Qin family's business in the Yuan City Market.

It was a lucrative job!

Thus, the person in charge of the Qin family's business in the Yuan City Market excused himself and hurried back to report.

Several other people in charge of other family businesses in the Yuan City Market were also making similar inquiries and reports. After all, it wasn't just the Qin family that was affected by the lack of Foundation Establishment Elixirs in Yuan City Market.

As a result, Fang Jinyu's name spread throughout the Tianling Sect, and many people knew about him as the eccentric alchemist.

Of course, Fang Jinyu had already explained the reason for his actions.

"I pitied my fellow disciples for their hard cultivation. This time, the explosive increase in the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs is not beneficial to the Tianling Sect. My father and mother also sacrificed themselves for the Tianling Sect when they were alive. It just so happens that I've made a lot of Foundation Establishment Elixirs, which is why I'm selling them at such a low price."

Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu was meeting the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster at Mount Guiwang.

The meeting was because Fang Jinyu had sold too many Foundation Establishment Elixirs at a low price. He had given out more than 100 elixirs, so the number of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the Tianling Sect had increased by more than ten.

As for the others, it wasn't that they had failed to break through the Foundation Establishment stage but rather that they were still making preparations.

After all, the Foundation Establishment Elixirs were created for cultivators to help them break through the Foundation Establishment stage. As long as one had triple-element spirit roots, there was a high chance of success with the help of a Foundation Establishment Elixir! However, there was still a chance of failure. If cultivators failed, the bottleneck to breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage would become even more solid.

At that time, one Foundation Establishment Elixir would definitely not be able to help cultivators breakthrough. Cultivators would need at least three.

Fang Jinyu's words were far too grand. If it had been anyone else, the Nascent Soul stage grandmaster would not have believed him. However, when Fang Jinyu said it, even the nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster of the Tianling Sect couldn't help but believe him.

It was because of the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster's impression of the former Fang Jinyu's father. If the former Fang Jinyu's father hadn't been so honest and stuck to his decision, he wouldn't have died.

"You…"

The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster found it funny and continuously shook his head. He said, "You'll get into a lot of trouble if you do it. You might even be seen as a thorn in other people's sides. I've helped you suppress it this time, but next time…."

At this point, the youthful-looking Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster was at a loss for words.

After all, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster naturally hoped to have more disciples like Fang Jinyu.

The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did you get those Foundation Establishment Fruits?" After all, the various immortal sects controlled strategic resources like the Foundation Establishment Fruits. It was normal for a few Foundation Establishment Fruits to appear occasionally, but for dozens of them to appear all at once was a little off.

"My two elder brothers found a thousand-year-old Foundation Establishment Fruit tree." Fang Jinyu didn't hesitate to reveal the secret of his two "sworn brothers."

When the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster heard it, he instantly became angry, but he didn't say anything.

After all, it was a personal opportunity.

Even though he was in the Nascent Soul stage, it wasn't appropriate for him to snatch it unless the other party wasn't from the Tianling Sect. Moreover, the Jade Falcon Myna and the three black spirit pigs could be considered half of his disciples.

"It seems that your talent in alchemy is outstanding." The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster nodded and took out a prescription and a green Hundred-Treasure Box.

"I heard that you're interested in refining the Core Spirit Elixir. In that case, I'll give you this prescription. It contained some insights from a Holy Alchemist. As for the box… I'm sure you're no stranger to it. There are 12 Authentic Core Fruits inside, and I'll also give them to you. You have done a great job for the Tianling Sect."

"Thank you so much, Grandmaster!"

Knowing the Origin of Gains in Appearance

Fang Jinyu experienced another "teleportation." Just now, he was still on Mount Guiwang. However, in the blink of an eye, he was already at the foot of the mountain.

The strength of a Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster was still as unpredictable as ever.

...

As for what would happen after the Foundation Establishment Elixir incident…

It had nothing to do with Fang Jinyu.

Although Fang Jinyu was indeed the cause of the incident, the nature of his actions changed after the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster spoke.

At the very least, even an aristocratic family like the Qin family wouldn't dare to hurt him.

The Nine Desolations might have thousands of Core Formation stage cultivators. However, there were just less than one hundred Nascent Soul stage cultivators. It included some ancient cultivators that had disappeared for hundreds of years.

Any one of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators had significant power.

However, just to be safe, Fang Jinyu decided to start closed-door cultivation for a while. It just happened that he needed to use his cheats on his recent gains… He had to master it.

Two days later.

On Mount Xiaohe, in a simple immortal estate decorated with green vines, Fang Jinyu put down the prescription for the Core Spirit Elixir.

Naturally, he didn't just read the prescription. He also gained a lot from reading and comprehension.

[Today is the day to learn the experience of a Holy Alchemist.]

[Refined Holy Alchemist technique 1]

"As expected, I'm so talented. How can I not understand it?"

Fang Jinyu was full of joy. As for the day before, he had not gained anything from reading the prescription. He had even swept the floor on a whim and inexplicably gained on his appearance… Naturally, Fang Jinyu had chosen to forget about it.

Another thing worth mentioning was that because of the incident, Fang Jinyu could finally confirm the origin of his gains in appearance…

The working people are the most beautiful!

The cheat's ideological awareness was unusually high!

In the past, Fang Jinyu would gain in appearance after working hard for a day without exception.

Fang Jinyu put away the prescription that contained the insights of a Holy Alchemist. With the alchemy technique, his skills had finally reached the level of an ordinary alchemist.

As long as Fang Jinyu familiarized himself with the Foundation Establishment stage elixirs, even if it was for cultivators who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage consumed them, he could guarantee a success rate of at least 30%.

Fang Jinyu's mood brightened.

Even the fact that the ancient authentic spirit Kui cattle bloodline had yet to awaken its great divine powers could no longer affect Fang Jinyu's mood.

Perhaps it was because Fang Jinyu obtained his authentic spirit bloodline through external forces, or perhaps it was because it was too little. Although the bloodline was awakened, the great divine powers that were compatible with the bloodline hadn't been awakened.

However, even though it didn't possess any great divine powers, the authentic spirit bloodline was indeed the authentic spirit bloodline. Just the power of lightning within it was enough to benefit Fang Jinyu greatly.

When Fang Jinyu fought with others before, the lightning power in his magical powers could paralyze his enemy and give him a chance to win.

But now, as long as someone was affected by Fang Jinyu's magical energy, they would instantly lose their ability to move as if they were struck by lightning! Only people like him who had cultivated high-tier techniques could be immune to the spread of his lightning and not be injured.

Fang Jinyu's lightning power was comparable to Qin Haoyue's spiritual fire.

It was because after Fang Jinyu gathered his inner energy, he could unleash a terrifying thunderstorm that wasn't great divine powers but was similar.

At this moment, a talisman triggered the restrictive enchantment at his door.

It was the Messenger Talisman.

Fang Jinyu raised his hand and swept his gaze across the room. It turned out that Xu Jing had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and had come to thank him.

Xu Jing was preparing to hold a Foundation Establishment stage banquet to share his joy with his fellow Daoists. The talisman was to invite Fang Jinyu to the banquet.

"Share the joy? Isn't he just trying to show off?"

Fang Jinyu immediately knew the nature of the banquet. It was a class reunion in the cultivation world.

Hence, Fang Jinyu didn't even think about it and pretended he didn't see it.

Fang Jinyu was prepared to reply to him a few months later. As for a reason? There was no need to look for a reason at all. People openly admitted that foundation establishment stage cultivators occasionally began closed-door cultivation for three to five months.

Fang Jinyu was indeed preparing to begin his closed-door cultivation. After all, he had already refined a batch of Core Spirit Elixirs. He couldn't just watch and not eat them, right?

He took out a Core Spirit Elixir, put it in his mouth, and pressed it with the tip of his tongue.

Then, Fang Jinyu began circulating the Qi circulation spell of the supreme wind-thunder scripture.

The supreme wind-thunder scripture was divided into four realms, corresponding to the immortal stages' four major realms: Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul.

The first realm was the wind-lightning tempering technique.

Once it was cultivated, the inner energy in the body would contain some lightning power, and Fang Jinyu's physique would far exceed those of others of the same rank. Of course, it was just that his physique was stronger, and his vitality was more tenacious. He was still inferior to a cultivator who truly refined the technique.

The second realm was the wind-lightning manifestation.

It revolved around the two core great divine powers: the myriad transformation technique and the lifeless thunderstorm technique.

Fang Jinyu initially wanted to skip the second great divine power—the lifeless thunderstorm technique. After all, lightning-attribute spiritual items were too rare. He had planned to wait until he broke through rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage to consider it.

However, since Fang Jinyu had the authentic spirit Kui cattle bloodline, he no longer had to worry about not having lightning-attribute spiritual items.

Although Fang Jinyu didn't have a lightning-attribute spiritual item, the power of lightning in his bloodline was enough to support him in successfully cultivating the lifeless thunderstorm technique.

It took Fang Jinyu eight days for the first elixir to be refined. His eyes gleamed with joy as he swallowed another.

When Fang Jinyu consumed the first batch of Core Spirit Elixirs, his cultivation base had already ranked 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage!

"The Core Spirit Elixir is indeed worthy of its name."

Fang Jinyu praised.

In less than three months, Fang Jinyu's cultivation base had advanced to another level.

If Fang Jinyu didn't get the help of elixirs and only relied on his cultivation, even if he gained magic powers and cultivation insights from time to time, he would rank 2 at most in the Foundation Establishment stage.

"I'll make another furnace of Core Spirit Elixirs, but I'll need to add a few spiritual items."

Fang Jinyu pondered for a moment, then ended his closed-door cultivation.

Cultivating the supreme wind-thunder scripture naturally had bottlenecks, and there were many of them. However, Fang Jinyu's insights into the technique had reached perfection. As long as he continued to increase his inner energy, he could smoothly convert it into his cultivation base.

As expected, using cheats was the most crucial factor in cultivation.

Walking out of the immortal estate, Fang Jinyu went straight to the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li". However, as soon as he set foot on it, he turned and left.

Fang Jinyu remembered that he owed Mount Lingyao 100000 spirit stones.

Hence, Fang Jinyu arrived at another peak of Mount Lingyao.

It was labeled "Xun."

However, just as he rented the alchemy room, a few Mount Lingyao disciples came to him.

"You're Fang Jinyu?" The few Mount Lingyao disciples looked unfriendly.

Fang Jinyu felt strange and thought, "Where did these idiots come from?" However, the strange thing was that the few Qi Condensation stage disciples ran away after saying it.

Fang Jinyu completely focused on refining the Core Spirit Elixir, so he quickly forgot about the strange retards.

Although Fang Jinyu hadn't refined elixirs for a long time, he still smoothly refined a furnace of Core Spirit Elixirs.

Fang Jinyu opened the furnace and found that he had produced eight elixirs.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was Core Spirit Elixirs with even more spiritual powers. He could reach rank 4 in the Foundation Establishment stage sooner or later.

At this moment, a familiar text box appeared.

[Today is the day of reaping the rewards after months of planning.]

[Refined luck 1]

Someone Stops Admiring Her, While Someone Starts to Admire Her

"Luck?"

Seeing the long-lost gain in luck, Fang Jinyu was both surprised and happy.

...

Luck could be said to be the top-notch treasure in the immortal cultivation world. Although it wasn't visible to the naked eye and had no substantial power, the more luck one had, the more beneficial it was to them.

One of the most significant examples was that Fang Jinyu could simply use his fortune-telling technique again.

Why would Fang Jinyu be so stingy if it wasn't for the fact that he had too little luck?

Even the strange scoop-shaped stone that gave Fang Jinyu a strong feeling could only be solved by himself. He couldn't rely on his fortune-telling technique to solve it in one step.

"However, it said that I took months to plan…." Fang Jinyu immediately thought of Qin Haoyue. If Qin Haoyue were unlucky these days, it would confirm his previous guess.

Fang Jinyu would be able to refine luck with his cheat only when something happened to Su Yier's admirers, and someone decided to stop admiring her.

"I wonder how Qin Haoyue is being unlucky?"

Fang Jinyu had gone out to ask around out of some curiosity. He had thought it would be difficult to find out, but he had never expected such shocking news.

Xu Jing said with a smile, "Senior Brother Fang, you don't know it, but the eldest young master of the Qin family had an accident that almost completely crippled his cultivation base. There's also another rumor that you're the one who's behind it, Senior Brother Fang."

Fang Jinyu, who had been listening with great interest, immediately became speechless.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but say, "Aren't you overestimating me?"

Even now, Fang Jinyu was only capable of defeating Qin Haoyue. He wasn't confident in killing him. After all, as the son of the head of the Qin family, Qin Haoyue definitely had more than one superior-tier spirit tool. Even if he didn't have another high-tier spirit tool, Qin Haoyue would still have other means to save his life.

For example, the life-substitution scarecrow that Fang Jinyu once heard of was an extremely special puppet-like great divine power.

At the same time, it was also a great divine power that Nascent Soul stage cultivators used.

Every noble cultivation family would pass down such a great divine power. Every family's direct descendants would possess such a puppet-like great divine power.

As long as there was such a puppet-like great divine power, no matter how strong Fang Jinyu was, even if he became a Core Formation stage cultivator, he wouldn't be able to kill the other party.

"The rumor is indeed a bit illogical. While having such a superior-tier spirit tool, only a cultivator who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage can kill Qin Haoyue, right?" Xu Jing shook his head.

News of the competition's results on Mount Shidao had already spread.

Fang Jinyu nodded. He had already gotten the information he wanted, so he got up and left.

Xu Jing wanted to keep him and deepen their relationship. After all, Fang Jinyu, who had casually given away more than a hundred Foundation Establishment Elixirs, had already changed his image in his heart.

The world was bustling with activity for profit.

However, Fang Jinyu left without hesitation and had a good excuse. The elixir in the alchemy furnace in his immortal estate was almost done.

"He's such an overbearing president?"

Fang Jinyu thought to himself. Then, he went to find out more about Mount Lingjian. However, he had to do it quietly, so he went to find Du Maner.

While Fang Jinyu was in his closed-door cultivation, the little girl had been with Du Maner.

"You want me to be the mole?"

The little girl was shocked when she realized Fang Jinyu's motive.

"What mole?" Fang Jinyu was stunned, and his eyes were full of confusion. He just wanted to ask for information, but why did he become asking her to be a mole?

"Because I know that Su Yier. She even asked me to visit Mount Lingjian in the future, but I rejected her. However, she said that we hit it off, so she brought me there to meet a few people she was familiar with."

Fang Jinyu's brows twitched. Should he say that Su Yier was truly a man of destiny? He brought the little girl so he could ride her coattails in the future, yet Su Yier had met the girl and even made friends with her.

However, when Fang Jinyu saw the little girl's nonchalant expression, he heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, the protagonist's fate was too mysterious!

Your most trusted confidant, even if they were of the same gender, could be taken away by the protagonist.

It seemed that Du Maner's destiny had bumped into Su Yier's, which offset the influence of Su Yier's destiny on the little girl.

"Alright then, I'll leave this matter to you!" Thus, Fang Jinyu gladly handed the task to her. At the same time, he felt helpless because the little girl had been well-behaved.

When Fang Jinyu asked Du Maner, he expected the little girl would offend a few people because of her words. However, he didn't expect Du Maner to say she had been "very well-behaved."

"If the little girl didn't offend anyone, how can I use the opportunity to gain her favor?!"

Fang Jinyu cursed in his heart.

"Moreover, shouldn't the little girl be more meddling when she's with someone like Du Maner, who is also a man of destiny?"

Fang Jinyu didn't pay attention to the little girl beside him when he was resentful. He didn't notice that a strange look flashed across her eyes. Afterward, the little girl bounced off to help him find out.

About four hours later, the little girl returned with the information Fang Jinyu wanted.

Su Yier had indeed left the Tianling Sect!

As for Su Yier's master, he had flown into a rage for some unknown reason!

"What's wrong with you?" Fang Jinyu suddenly noticed a red mark on the little girl's face. Although it had disappeared a little, he could still tell someone had slapped her.

Fang Jinyu frowned and asked, "Who did it?"

"One of Su Yier's junior brothers!" The little girl gritted her teeth and said, "I only asked where Su Yier is, but he hit me!"

"What's his name?"

"I don't know. I only know that his surname is Ximen."

"Ximen?" Fang Jinyu's expression suddenly became a little strange when he heard it. If it was anyone else with the surname Ximen, he might only know two of them. One was named Ximen Chuixue, and the other was called Ximen Qing. However, Su Yier only had a junior brother with the surname Ximen. Hence, Fang Jinyu immediately knew who he was.

He was Ximen Jianyi. Ximen Jianyi had dual-element spiritual roots but had a unique physique. It was because he had obtained an incomplete sword magic treasure when he was young, and the magic treasure had directly merged with him. Hence, as long as Ximen Jianyi cultivated something related to swordsmanship, his cultivation would be very smooth, and his speed would be much faster than that of his peers.

The difference between an overbearing president like Qin Haoyue and Ximen Jianyi was that Ximen Jianyi was paranoid.

Ximen Jianyi had acknowledged Su Yier's master before Su Yier. However, since he was a rogue disciple before he joined the sect, he had to address Su Yier as his senior sister.

The reason why Ximen Jianyi was able to join the sect and become the disciple of that Core Formation stage sword cultivator was related to Su Yier's help in putting in a good word for him. Hence, Ximen Jianyi began to like Su Yier because of her kindness and gentleness.

However, at the same time, Ximen Jianyi, who seemed to be a man of few words, was sickly paranoid and had also developed a strong desire to possess Su Yier. However, as he noticed that his master was treating Su Yier differently, Ximen Jian kept his feelings to himself.

From the Righteous to the Villain

Information about Ximen Jianyi flashed through Fang Jinyu's mind, and his expression changed. "So it's the sickly paranoid."

Fang Jinyu only had a rough impression of most characters.

...

However, if the character had a unique personality, Fang Jinyu would definitely remember him. For example, he didn't even have a rough impression of Su Yier's admirer, but he could still remember the Jade Falcon Myna in her admirer's hand.

He even remembered some of the dialogue related to the plot.

"You're someone who's been with me for seven to eight years, and you want me to follow someone else?"

"Then I'll pay two more spirit stones?"

"Hurry up and give me the money, strange brat."

It was a conversation between Myna and its original owner. The Jade Falcon Myna immediately flew over to Su Yier's with just two more spirit stones.

Fang Jinyu also had a deep impression of Ximen Jianyi.

It wasn't that Ximen Jianyi had awakened some strange attribute, such as being willing to share Su Yier with others. It was just that Ximen Jianyi's possessiveness was too strong, and he had turned evil. He wanted to split Su Yier into pieces and make a perfect corpse.

In the slang of Fang Jinyu's countryside, it was also called a specimen.

It caused Ximen Jianyi to leave the righteous camp and join the evilest camp. He even became the biggest villain among the villains!

In the end, everyone only managed to kill Ximen Jianyi with the help of the devil tribe's Devil Supreme, the Lich King, the King of Demons from the ruins, Su Yier, the female lead, and a group of righteous characters.

Before Ximen Jianyi came into contact with the true inheritance of swordsmanship, his performance was impressive but not outstanding. It was because there were too many disciples with the Tianling spiritual root in the Nine Desolations, where everyone cultivated. Almost every sect had a disciple with the Tianling spiritual root.

The difference between any cultivator and a Tianling spiritual root cultivator was like the difference between heaven and earth.

It wasn't until Su Yier's master taught Ximen Jianyi the only sword technique of the Tianling Sect. From that moment on, it was as if the divine weapon had found someone who could unleash its power. Ximen Jianyi's cultivation speed was astonishingly fast, and he had also broken through to the Nascent Soul stage before the female lead shattered her core and formed her nascent soul.

Although people explained later that Ximen Jianyi was half-possessed, rather than saying that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, it was more like he was regaining his original power step by step.

It was because Ximen Jianyi's original consciousness had been replaced after he fused with the incomplete magic treasure. It was just that the consciousness that replaced Ximen Jianyi's original consciousness lost his past memories after the replacement was successful. Therefore, he regarded himself as Ximen Jianyi and even felt Ximen Jianyi's parents as his own parents. Hence, he lived peacefully as a mortal for a while.

"Are you going to help me take revenge?" At this moment, a small face appeared in front of Fang Jinyu, and she looked at him with her big, hopeful eyes.

"We can't do it directly," Fang Jinyu said.

After all, it was the first request from the little girl who Fang Jinyu could ride her coattails in the future. Hence, he couldn't refuse it, but he didn't want to fight the guy who would die in a dozen years face-to-face.

Moreover, although he had become a villain, he was still indebted to the Tianling Sect for teaching him. Therefore, as long as the disciples of the Tianling Sect didn't openly oppose the sect, it would let the villain go in the end.

"Why?" The little girl was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't complain about anything. She only asked in confusion.

"If nothing goes wrong, this guy should rank 7 at the Foundation Establishment stage now." Fang Jinyu recalled the plot of the book. Ximen Jianyi fully activated the magic treasure in his body after obtaining the sword cultivation manual. Not only did it help him recover his cultivation base, but it also helped him conceal it. He was ranked 7 at the Foundation Establishment stage, but under the concealment of the magic treasure, he only appeared to rank 7 at the Qi Condensation stage.

"Isn't he a Qi Condensation stage cultivator?"

"How about we make a bet?" Fang Jinyu said.

"Then tell me what you want to bet on first." The little girl was instantly alert. Although she had lost her memories and her mind was almost blank, it didn't mean she was stupid. She could understand many things at a glance and could even draw inferences from one case.

"If he's ranked 7 at the Foundation Establishment stage, you can regain your child-like nature. You can cause trouble and bully whoever you want to bully. Don't suppress yourself." As Fang Jinyu spoke, he deliberately smiled to hide his true intentions.

"I don't want to!" The little girl glanced at Fang Jinyu. Although his words sounded like he was telling her to do things for her happiness, for some reason, she felt that this "kind and honest man" wasn't honest at all.

"Why?" Fang Jinyu was slightly surprised.

"Because I have a feeling that if I do that, I will fall into a trap…." The little girl rubbed her smooth chin thoughtfully. She believed in her gut feeling, which was why she had followed Fang Jinyu back.

When she first met Fang Jinyu, she didn't feel any malice from him. In fact, she felt that if she were to stay with him, she could reduce a lot of trouble and danger.

Fang Jinyu was stunned.

Could it be that the woman's sixth sense was really that terrifying?

Before Fang Jinyu transmigrated, he had never been in a relationship, so he could only sigh at the horror in his heart and never mention it again.

"Then how are we going to take revenge on that Ximen?"

Fang Jinyu said, "Ximen Jianyi will be severely injured by his master within a few days. Not only will he lose most of his strength, but he might even faint. That time, we will sneak over, and you can beat him up to vent your anger."

"Alright!" The little girl agreed immediately. Then, she clenched her two small hands into fists as if she were going to kill Ximen Jianyi.

Fang Jinyu continued and said, "So, go to Mount Lingjian again and see when there will be a fight." Although the book mentioned that Su Yier's master and Ximen Jianyi would fight over Su Yier three months after she left the sect, he had no idea when exactly it would happen.

When the little girl heard Fang Jinyu's words, she immediately ran off joyfully.

"Since Su Yier has left the Tianling Sect, I can try to refine the Green Phoenix Scissors now." Fang Jinyu had been thinking about his second magic treasure since he got it.

Fang Jinyu opened the seal again and summoned the magic treasure in his body.

Firstly, the stone orb flew out, surrounded by a murky electric arc. It circled Fang Jinyu once, then quietly hovered before him, not revealing any of its aurae.

Fang Jinyu had refined it.

The immortal estate was then abundant in the wind and fire-attributed spiritual energy. Amid the change in spiritual energy, the Green Phoenix Scissors appeared late, bringing terrifying pressure as soon as they appeared.

After Fang Jinyu chanted a spell, the magic treasure finally began to calm down.

Since When Does the Story Simply Change Its Villian?

Fang Jinyu looked at the magic treasure and couldn't help but feel strange. He had already made an agreement with it, but the Green Phoenix Scissors still tried to resist. Could it be that it couldn't go against destiny because it was the magic treasure of the female lead, Su Yier?

Afterward, Fang Jinyu took out two spirit pearls that he had sealed.

...

One was wind-attributed, and the other was fire-attributed, which just happened to correspond to the attributes of the magic weapon. The Green Phoenix Scissors had both wind and fire attributes. It was easy for the great Core Formation stage cultivator to refine them since they only needed to put in their inner energy and slowly refine it. However, Fang Jinyu was only ranked 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage, so it was naturally more troublesome.

Fang Jinyu formed hand seals according to the spell and kept chanting.

At the same time, with the help of two spirit pearls, Fang Jinyu was constantly transforming them into his inner energy.

Fang Jinyu had estimated the refining process wouldn't take too long this time, and he could complete it in three days at most. After all, Su Yier had already left the Tianling Sect. No matter how mysterious the split soul on her body was and how extraordinary her means were, it would be difficult for her to affect the magic treasure.

However, only after five days did Fang Jinyu finally end his closed-door cultivation.

"I've finally refined it, but…."

Fang Jinyu, who was sitting cross-legged when frowning. With a flip of his hand, the stone orb appeared.

Fang Jinyu casually weighed the stone orb in his hand, and he confirmed the ominous suspicion in his heart.

Although Fang Jinyu had refined the Green Phoenix Scissors, he still felt a sense of unfamiliarity with it, as if there were some sort of barrier between them.

"What exactly is the split soul in Su Yier's body?"

"Could it be it's above the Nascent Soul stage?"

"But if there is a stage above the Nascent Soul stage, then why would there be ancient cultivators who abandoned cultivating to pursue a longer life?"

Fang Jinyu thought about it. Although it was only a narrative in the book, he had become a "character" in the book, so he naturally had to treat everything with the most serious attitude.

"Forget it. It's better to break through the Core Formation stage as soon as possible."

Fang Jinyu immediately swallowed a Core Spirit Elixir and began to refine it.

Fang Jinyu had spent five days refining the Green Phoenix Scissors. Hence, he had completely forgotten about helping the little girl to take her revenge. It wasn't only after he had refined three Core Spirit Elixirs that he remembered the matter. However, it had already been more than a month.

Fang Jinyu needed 16 days to refine one of these Core Spirit Elixirs, which had stronger spiritual power.

After some thought, Fang Jinyu ended his closed-door cultivation and walked out of his immortal estate.

However, as soon as Fang Jinyu had broken the restrictive enchantment, he discovered a broken sword in front of his immortal estate.

When Fang Jinyu went closer for inspection, he found no spiritual energy.

Fang Jinyu used his divine sense to scan it again, but nothing special happened.

And so, Fang Jinyu reached out and pulled it out.

In an instant, Fang Jinyu felt a strong reaction from his fortune-telling technique, and it was as strong as when he had intercepted Su Yier's opportunity and when he met the little girl!

"A destined opportunity?"

Fang Jinyu's brows twitched. After a moment of hesitation, he tried to put his inner energy into the broken sword, as he was reluctant to reveal the nature of the sword by using his luck.

The process was unimpeded. However, no matter how Fang Jinyu inserted his inner energy, it immediately disappeared like a clay ox entering the sea.

Furthermore, it wasn't just Fang Jinyu's inner energy. Even the broken sword suddenly disappeared.

"What's going on?"

Fang Jinyu felt troubled, but he found that his luck was beginning to show a burst at this moment. It was originally only as thin as a chopstick, but in an instant, it became as thick as stone pillars that reached the sky, and the stone pillars were almost going to merge. The strange thing was that the luck had become entirely black as if a thousand-year-old demon was about to be born.

Suddenly, Fang Jinyu realized something, but he was still uncertain. After all, it was too outrageous.

Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu heard a series of footsteps.

Fang Jinyu looked over and saw the little girl jumping up and down carefreely.

"You're done with your closed-door cultivation?"

The little girl showed her smiley eyes as she encountered something delightful.

When Fang Jinyu looked at her expression, he suddenly thought of something. Hence, he asked, "You've beat Ximen Jianyi up?"

"Yes! Speaking of which, you are right about everything! He fought with his master, and he is a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, not a Qi Condensation stage cultivator! However, he is still no match for his master. His master defeated him in three moves. Moreover, he was beaten up so badly that he suddenly fainted. I just took the opportunity to sneak over and slap him, but a broken sword fell out of his body…." The little girl turned her head left and right as she spoke and mumbled, "Eh? Where is the broken sword? Where did it go? I remember I left it at your door!"

Fang Jinyu felt like he was in deep shit and was speechless.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Ximen Jianyi's destined sword has surprisingly been forced out?"

"And it is all because of a slap?!"

The situation left Fang Jinyu feeling like he was in a dream. He thought, "Is this the terrifying aspect of those who have failed to break through the Nascent Soul stage? Even if she failed to break through the Nascent Soul stage, why is she still treated so well by heaven and earth?"

Fang Jinyu shook his head and looked at the little girl blankly. He then asked, "The broken sword you mentioned, does it look badly damaged and not have any spiritual energy?"

"Yeah, did you see it? Oh! Did you throw it away? Then throw it away. Du Maner wanted to see it, so I came to look for it."

Fang Jinyu felt even more annoyed and speechless.

If Fang Jinyu hadn't touched the broken sword that indicated the villain's possession, it would have fallen into Du Maner's hands. Hence, with Du Maner's destiny, it should be effortless for her to match the broken sword and obtain the final villain's luck.

"I won't be stingy with my luck anymore …"

Fang Jinyu had no idea what to say for a moment, so after a moment of silence, he pretended not to know where the broken sword had gone.

Fang Jinyu thought, "As for the villain, let Ximen Jianyi continue to work hard!"

"For a cannon fodder like me, it was better to hide in the corner of the cultivation world and watch the female protagonist and the others stir up trouble."

Fang Jinyu immediately said, "I made a guess. After I finished my closed-door cultivation, I saw no broken swords here."

"Then where did it go?"

Fang Jinyu shook his head and said, "Don't ask me."

"I heard that there are monkeys in this mountain. It must have been taken away by a monkey!" The little girl glanced at Fang Jinyu and suddenly said.

Fang Jinyu raised an eyebrow and thought, "Why are you looking at me this way?"

However, Fang Jinyu couldn't say it.

Thus, Fang Jinyu turned around and prepared to start another closed-door cultivation.

However, before Fang Jinyu could take two steps, the little girl pulled on his sleeve.

"Is there anything else?"

"Du Maner said that the sect has suddenly released the authority to recruit disciples. Foundation Establishment stage cultivators can recommend one person to join the sect."

Fang Jinyu immediately understood the situation when he saw her big eyes blink as she spoke. He couldn't remember whether the book had mentioned it. However, since it was only a recommendation spot and he was alone and didn't have any juniors to take care of, he immediately took out a Messenger Talisman and gave it to her.

There was a message from him inside that could help the little girl join the sect.

After that, Fang Jinyu went back to his closed-door cultivation. This time, he was prepared to break through to rank 4 in the Foundation Establishment stage in one go!

Beyond the Scope of the Book

As the saying goes, there was no notion of time while people were in the mountains, and they were unaware of the years and festivals even though winter had passed.

In the past, Fang Jinyu didn't feel much about it. Whenever he saw it, he thought the cultivation-novel authors were just using them. However, at this moment, he couldn't help but agree with it. He felt that these authors had used them very appropriately.

...

It was already winter when he walked out of his immortal estate.

The Tianling Sect had an array formation that could harmonize the four seasons. The sect could make the entire mountain peak like spring all year round if they wanted to. However, most cultivators chose not to activate the array formation.

Fang Jinyu was taken aback by the sight of Mount Xiaohe covered with snow.

With the help of the Core Spirit Elixir that Fang Jinyu had refined earlier, he could have used his powerful spiritual power to forcefully break through to rank 4 in the Foundation Establishment stage. However, considering that he didn't rely on external forces and naturally broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he dispelled the powerful spiritual power from the elixir after reaching the checkpoint and began to study the spells.

The supreme wind-thunder scripture was indeed a top-tier technique. Fang Jinyu had used two months to understand the key to his cultivation stage.

Hence, Fang Jinyu perfectly passed through the early stage of the Foundation Establishment stage and reached the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage.

It meant that Fang Jinyu ranked 4 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

After Fang Jinyu understood his cultivation and reached the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, he had an unexpected gain. His inner energy increased by 30%, and his myriad transformation technique, which had only been at the beginner stage, had small achievements.

Since then, not only did Fang Jinyu consume less inner energy to use the myriad transformation technique, but his great divine powers were also greater than before.

If Fang Jinyu were to fight Qin Haoyue again, even if Qin Haoyue summoned his spiritual fire, Fang Jinyu could trounce him. Of course, Qin Haoyue would probably not have the chance to fight him again.

When Fang Jinyu thought of Qin Haoyue, he only took the opportunity to express his anger.

Fang Jinyu gazed at the snowy scenery of Mount Xiaohe but didn't gain any insight, so he decided to return to his profession and continue refining Core Spirit Elixirs.

Previously, Fang Jinyu had intentionally lowered the price and used the Foundation Establishment Elixirs he had to exchange for spiritual items. Although he didn't get any lightning-attributed spiritual items, he had surprisingly gathered all the spiritual items required for each stage of the Core Spirit Elixir.

At the very least, Fang Jinyu didn't have to worry about the problem of a lack of elixirs until he broke through to rank 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, Fang Jinyu received a mission before he left Mount Xiaohe. A great Core Formation stage cultivator in the sect was about to get married, so he was asked to refine a batch of Core Spirit Elixirs as a gift to thank the guests.

Of course, it was only the most basic Core Spirit Elixir.

It was the same as the one that Fang Jinyu had first consumed.

However, even if it were the most basic Core Spirit Elixir, such a miraculous elixir would greatly benefit the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

It was considered costly to use Core Spirit Elixirs as a gift to thank the guests!

Fang Jinyu asked, "Senior Brother Li, may I know which great Core Formation stage cultivator he is?" The person who had come to pass on the sect's mission to him was the cultivator with dual-elemental spiritual roots and the surname Li, who had been in charge of the Spirit Beasts Valley.

"Ling Xiaojiu."

Fang Jinyu was taken aback because it was the name of Su Yier's master.

Fang Jinyu didn't recall seeing such a scene in the plot he had read!

"Junior Brother Fang, don't you know who he is? Oh, right! You're either refining elixirs or cultivating." When Fang Jinyu's former Martial Uncle Li from the Spirit Beasts Valley saw Fang Jinyu's clueless expression, he thought Fang Jinyu was unaware of the identity of the bridegroom. As he spoke, he looked at Fang Jinyu with a complicated expression.

He had noticed Fang Jinyu was now a cultivator who ranked 4 in the Foundation Establishment stage. However, he was still a cultivator who ranked 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

The Qi Condensation stage disciple who used to address him as "Martial Uncle" was now in the same stage as him. It was a common occurrence for someone like him who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage for a long time.

However, Fang Jinyu's cultivation base had surpassed his in the blink of an eye, so it was hard for him to avoid feeling down.

However, he had also heard of Fang Jinyu's past deeds, so he didn't feel any jealousy toward him. In fact, he was rather impressed.

Fang Jinyu's former Martial Uncle Li said, "Ling Xiaojiu, the peak leader of Mount Lingjian."

"So he's the peak leader of Mount Lingjian!" Fang Jinyu showed an appropriate look of realization. Although he knew who Ling Xiaojiu was, since "Senior Brother Li" had introduced him, he didn't have to embarrass his senior brother over such a small matter.

"That's right. Speaking of which, Junior Brother Fang, do you know who he's marrying?" Fang Jinyu's former Martial Uncle Li suddenly showed a strange half-smile.

"Who is it?" Fang Jinyu could tell that "Senior Brother Li" had something to complain about, so he responded appropriately.

"The person he's getting married to is his disciple, Su Yier!"

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Ling Xiaojiu and Su Yier got married so early? What about the emotional entanglement between Su Yier, the Devil Supreme, the King of Demons from the ruins, and the Lich King? What about the quarrels and disputes between the assassins' leader, the Liudao Sect Leader, and the Lord of the Immortal City?"

"How is the plot going to go on?"

"It's impossible that all of them are interested in married women! Or could it be that Su Yier had a heart that loved freedom too much? Then Ling Xiaojiu will be too pitiful!"

"Junior Brother Fang, you don't have to be so surprised. There are all kinds of people in the cultivation world. Not only do masters and disciples frequently get married, but daughters frequently marry fathers as well."

Fang Jinyu had no idea what to say because he felt that the plot of this world seemed to be developing in a way he didn't understand. However, he could only nod in agreement at this moment.

Fang Jinyu's former Martial Uncle Li said, "Then please come with me, Junior Brother Fang!"

"Alright."

Fang Jinyu couldn't obtain the core of the Core Spirit Elixir, the Authentic Core Fruit. Now he could obtain some Authentic Core Fruit fair and square. How could he refuse such a task?

Fang Jinyu followed his former Martial Uncle Li to Mount Lingjian.

Meanwhile, Mount Lingjian was very different from the past. Not only was it immersed in a jubilant scene, but it was also very lively. A large number of Qi Condensation stage disciples were busy here. Fang Jinyu even saw Xin Qianqian. She was busy decorating the flowers and plants on Mount Lingjian with several of her senior and junior sisters.

The two of them looked at each other. Fang Jinyu was about to approach Xin Qianqian to extend a greeting when the aura of a great Core Formation stage cultivator suddenly appeared.

Thus, Fang Jinyu had no choice but to clasp his fists just like the people around him to greet the great Core Formation stage cultivator.

Fang Jinyu thought the great Core Formation stage cultivator was from another peak, but he didn't expect him to be Ling Xiaojiu. Ling Xiaojiu walked straight to Fang Jinyu but didn't look at him. He only looked at Fang Jinyu's former Martial Uncle Li and said, "Since it's a happy occasion, let's write off our past grudges!"

Fang Jinyu's former Martial Uncle Li lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Martial Uncle." However, his tone was very calm, and nobody could feel the slightest bit of joy.

"Great." After saying it, Ling Xiaojiu turned to Fang Jinyu and asked, "You're the alchemist who's been rising to fame recently?"

"I'm an alchemist, but I don't have any reputation." Fang Jinyu neither denied nor nodded.

However, Ling Xiaojiu didn't care at all. He waved his hand and said coldly, "I don't care whether you have a reputation. Once you've finished refining the elixirs, I'll let go of the matter of you offending Yier."

With that, Ling Xiaojiu turned and left as if he didn't care about Fang Jinyu.

Kind and Honest People Are Always Troubled

Fang Jinyu's expression remained the same, and his heart was as calm as a lake. After all, he had known for a long time that Ling Xiaojiu was a neurotic, lovestruck person. Therefore, even though the current situation exceeded his expectations, he wasn't too surprised.

At this moment, it turned out to be "Martial Uncle Li," who was surprised.

...

"How did you become enemies with this great Core Formation stage cultivator?" Since they were at Mount Lingjian, Ling Xiaojiu's territory, Fang Jinyu's former Martial Uncle Li no longer called him by his name.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but look at him silently and think, "Although this 'Senior Brother Li' looked righteous, it turns out that he is not an honest man!"

Fang Jinyu said calmly, "I can't say much about the matter, but Senior Brother Li, you can ask around to know. It's not difficult to find out."

"I'm sorry, Junior Brother. I was presumptuous!" Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu's former Martial Uncle Li seemed to have realized something and hurriedly apologized.

He realized he shouldn't have asked it here, even if he wanted to know.

Perhaps because they shared a common experience, he now had a better impression of Fang Jinyu. Hence, he didn't address Fang Jinyu by his surname and treated him even nicer.

Fang Jinyu nodded.

Afterward, the two of them walked to the alchemy room.

According to "Senior Brother Li," the lovestruck lunatic had specially prepared a place for them to refine elixirs. Of course, the spirit herbs needed were also prepared beforehand. Ten portions of spirit herbs could be used to refine the Core Spirit Elixirs, and the task would be considered complete if he could refine 20 elixirs.

However, when Fang Jinyu arrived at his destination, he realized it was a large hall.

Meanwhile, many people were gathered in the hall.

Fang Jinyu took a closer look and realized they were all alchemists from the sect. Although Fang Jinyu had never seen them before, he had heard of their names. With just a glance, he could tell their general identity.

Moreover, there were also some unfamiliar faces.

They should be the alchemists outside the Tianling Sect, as the Tianling Sect's alchemists seemed to be chatting with them. And the content of their conversation was all related to spirit herbs.

Fang Jinyu could tell their identities, but he had no intention of joining them.

Firstly, they were unfamiliar, and secondly, Fang Jinyu had decided to be a nobody. He wanted the protagonists, the villains, and even time to ignore him!

Fang Jinyu was about to pretend to be a block of wood, but the people on the other side had already noticed him.

One of them immediately turned to Fang Jinyu and shouted, "Is that the junior brother over there, Junior Brother Fang Jinyu?"

After shouting it, the man revealed a profound smile.

When Fang Jinyu heard someone call out to him, he felt something was wrong with his expression. However, he had no choice but to respond, so he cupped his fists and said, "Junior Brother Fang Jinyu greets the senior brothers."

As soon as Fang Jinyu finished his words, he heard someone say rudely, "Hmph! I don't have a junior brother like you, so don't randomly address me as your senior brother!"

Fang Jinyu looked toward the source of the voice and saw that it was a person outside the Tianling Sect.

Thus, Fang Jinyu glanced at the other unfamiliar faces and found that they all looked like they were watching a show. Afterward, he nodded seriously and said, "You're right. However, is there a possibility that I didn't greet you, but you were just randomly responding to me?"

"How dare you!" When the man heard it, he was instantly enraged.

Fang Jinyu looked at him and thought, "What the fuck is this person's identity? How can he be so arrogant in the Tianling Sect?" He immediately retorted, "What should I be afraid of? We are now in the Tianling Sect! Are you acting like you own the Tianling Sect?"

Fang Jinyu's words were harsh, and the person couldn't help changing his expression.

After all, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster of the Tianling Sect existed!

"You're talking nonsense!" The man said it hurriedly, and he seemed to be panicking. He had gotten used to the flattery of the rogue cultivators and cultivators from small sects. Hence, he had almost forgotten that he had come to one of the six great sects in the Nine Desolations!

"Junior Brother Fang, it's a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding. Brother Lu is only feeling troubled because of his son." At this moment, someone spoke up to smooth things over.

Fang Jinyu recognized the man. He was an alchemist from the Tianling Sect. His name was Li Qiankun, and his nickname was Master Qiankun. He was the Tianling Sect's only Holy Alchemist… The Tianling Sect's only Holy Alchemist's disciple.

The Tianling Sect's only Holy Alchemist was not around because he was in a life-and-death closed-door cultivation. He was preparing to break through to the Core Formation stage with the help of an uncanny elixir! According to the book, the Holy Alchemist couldn't break through to the Core Formation stage and even passed away due to the uncanny elixir's adverse effects.

At this moment, only a pile of bones was left where he had done closed-door cultivation.

And the things he left behind were all used to help the female lead, Su Yier.

It was a cliched plot.

In the past, Fang Jinyu would have thought so. However, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but have other thoughts.

It was because Su Yier was about to get married!

It was something that the book never mentioned.

"Could it be that Qin Haoyue, Chen Baxing, and Ximen Jianyi's consequences had an indirect effect?" Fang Jinyu couldn't help but wonder, "But what effect will it have? It didn't affect Su Yier in any way!"

Meanwhile, as Master Qiankun smoothed things over, Fang Jinyu and Alchemist Lu stopped arguing.

Soon, Fang Jinyu could tell the identity of Alchemist Lu as they spoke.

He was the father of the mentally retarded young man, Lu Shaojun.

He was also a Holy Alchemist who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage!

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but squint his eyes at the situation because he could be considered to have a grudge against him.

However, Fang Jinyu didn't have any more opportunities to come into contact with the Holy Alchemist because he had begun to refine elixirs. For Fang Jinyu, it was a relatively easy task.

The first batch of elixirs had eight elixirs.

The second batch of elixirs also had eight elixirs.

Due to Fang Jinyu slightly letting his guard down, he didn't manage to control the heat perfectly, and he produced only five elixirs in the third batch.

However, 21 elixirs were enough to complete the task.

Hence, Fang Jinyu cleaned up the rest of the spirit herbs and separated them into two Hundred-Treasure Boxes. He prepared to take them away. It was also an unwritten rule in the alchemy world. No matter how many portions were given at the beginning, if more spirit herbs were left after the alchemist refined all the elixirs, they would all belong to the alchemist.

Fang Jinyu didn't care much about the other spirit herbs, but he was satisfied to have seven Authentic Core Fruits.

Fang Jinyu opened the alchemy room's door and took out the 20 Core Spirit Elixirs he had prepared earlier. He handed them over to the person in charge and prepared to leave. After all, there was nothing else to do here, and he couldn't be bothered to deal with the lovestruck man.

However, although he didn't want to be troubled, he was always troubled.

Someone said rudely, "Oh! Are you finally done? You're the last one to finish refining the elixirs. It seems that you have dejectedly managed to refine 20 Core Spirit Elixirs. You're quite lucky!"

Unsurprisingly, the person speaking was the father of the mentally retarded young man.

41 I'm Just Fulfilling Your Wish

Fang Jinyu looked over even though he knew who it was.

It was because Fang Jinyu could sense that the alchemists had already gathered together. However, he didn't look at the Holy Alchemist surnamed Lu.

...

As the saying goes, "Like Father, Like Son."

Since a son's behavior can be expected to resemble that of his father, Fang Jinyu could know the Holy Alchemist surnamed Lu's personality.

As such, even though Fang Jinyu was surprised that the Holy Alchemist surnamed Lu was persistent in pestering him, his heart didn't waver since the other party was a Holy Alchemist.

Fang Jinyu's gaze shifted to the few alchemists. He noticed that they were all looking at him as if they were enjoying a show. Only Master Qiankun was frowning as if he were hesitating to say something. As for the alchemists who didn't belong to the Tianling Sect, they naturally acted arrogantly and wouldn't care about the matter.

The situation made Fang Jinyu frown, as he suddenly realized something.

It was reasonable for the alchemists who didn't belong to the Tianling Sect to act in such a way. However, when the Tianling Sect's alchemists adopted the same mindset, things started to get interesting.

It was because most of the Tianling Sect's alchemists were born into noble families, and none of them were the sect's ordinary disciples.

Therefore, the reason for their attitude was most likely the matter of the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Fang Jinyu thought, "As expected, it's all because of the profits. Master Qiankun was also born into an aristocratic family. He always considered himself the leader of the Tianling Sect's alchemists just because of his master. It's why he shows such an expression."

"He looks like he wants to stop the Holy Alchemist surnamed Lu, but he hesitated."

Since Fang Jinyu understood the situation, he didn't care about it anymore. Instead, he had other thoughts.

"Speaking of which, the Tianling Sect's Holy Alchemist who's in a life-and-death closed-door cultivation doesn't come from an aristocratic family either."

The Tianling Sect's Holy Alchemist wasn't important in the storyline. Although he would die as soon as he appeared in the book plot, the book still mentioned his name. Hence, his appearance didn't seem too perfunctory.

However, everyone would ridicule the Holy Alchemist's name when they saw it. His name was Nangong Li.

"Why doesn't the author just name him Han Wan?"

Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu was still in the mood to ridicule Nangong Li.

Since Fang Jinyu remained silent, the Alchemist Lu had no reason to continue speaking. Hence, he could only sneer.

Fang Jinyu couldn't be bothered with him and was about to leave. However, he was stopped by a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator cupped his fists and said, "Junior Brother Fang, the peak leader has said that since it's rare for so many alchemists to gather here, he has prepared a generous gift for all of you. Please go and receive it."

Although he was a love-struck lunatic, he was a genuine Core Formation stage sword cultivator. Moreover, he was good at attacking and defending. Thus, Fang Jinyu could only nod in agreement.

When Fang Jinyu went over, the other alchemists also received the news and went over.

On the way, Master Qiankun deliberately slowed down a few steps. When Fang Jinyu arrived, he said, "Junior Brother Fang, do you know that you're embarrassing our Tianling Sect by doing this?"

"What did I do to embarrass the sect?" Fang Jinyu felt as if he was listening to a fantasy story. Hence, he was shocked.

Master Qiankun showed a poker face and continued to say, "Daoist Brother Lu is not only a friend of our Tianling Sect but also a Holy Alchemist. He is a person that can be our teacher!"

Fang Jinyu felt strange and thought, "So, in the end, this guy is still biased. However, it's normal. After all, I'm just the sect's ordinary disciple with no background. Normally, everyone thinks I'm one of the easy pushovers."

Thus, Fang Jinyu deliberately went along with him and asked, "Do you mean…"

Master Qiankun frowned because he was dissatisfied when Fang Jinyu didn't even show his basic form of respect for him. However, when he thought of Fang Jinyu as a frank person who was known for his honesty in the sect, he suppressed his displeasure and continued, "You should set up a banquet and kowtow to Daoist Brother Lu and his son in apology! You should also offer him 500000 spirit stones as a token of apology!"

Fang Jinyu could no longer keep up his pretense and said, "Are you nuts? Or are you out of your mind?"

Master Qiankun was stunned to hear Fang Jinyu's words.

It was because no one had ever dared speak to him in such a rude way. It was especially true when he became a disciple of the sect's Holy Alchemist. He was famous in the sect and all the Foundation Establishment stage alchemists regarded him as their leader.

He became enraged following that.

Master Qiankun glared at Fang Jinyu and said, "What did you say?! Do you dare say it again?!"

"Are you nuts? Or are you out of your mind?" Fang Jinyu readily accepted his request. Since Master Qiankun liked to hear it, he would do as he said! He was just fulfilling his wishes!

Master Qiankun roared, "Bastard!"

Fang Jinyu showed a poker face and said, "I'm not sure whether I'm a bastard, but I'm sure that you're a bastard. How dare your knees be so soft when you're a disciple of the Tianling Sect? Do you typically kneel before people other than our sect? The Tianling Sect is one of the six great immortal sects in Nine Desolations! We even have a late-stage Nascent Soul Grandmaster in our sect! Which sect on earth dares to provoke us? Even the five sects that are also part of the six great immortal sects are only on the same level as us! Do you want me to kneel in front of them? What are your intentions? Also, who do you think you are?!"

Fang Jinyu turned and left after he finished his words. He left Master Qiankun standing there with an ashen look.

Due to the delay caused by Master Qiankun, when Fang Jinyu arrived, he realized that everyone had already received their gifts. However, Ling Xiaojiu wasn't around. A female disciple was distributing the gifts on his behalf.

The female disciple was only ranked 3 in the Qi Condensation stage. She was from the same clan as Ling Xiaojiu. She was supposed to have no connections with him five years earlier, but since she possessed the Tianling spiritual root, her family regained connections with the direct descendants of the Ling family.

According to seniority, she was Ling Xiaojiu's younger sister.

Fang Jinyu knew so much about her because she had appeared in the book. However, she wasn't a good character, so she naturally didn't have a happy ending.

She had fought with the female lead, Su Yier, for Ling Xiaojiu and even tried to harm Su Yier. Hence, she ended up being killed by Ling Xiaojiu.

Of course, the current Ling Wutong hasn't turned even yet. Moreover, she hadn't schemed anyone yet. She was still a weak and gentle young lady since she was still in her prime and had just joined the Tianling Sect.

Ling Wutong was a little shy and said to Fang Jinyu, "Martial Uncle, this is yours."

Fang Jinyu accepted the gift and said, "Thank you so much, Junior Sister Ling." Since there were no restrictive enchantments on the packaging, he could immediately tell what was inside with a sweep of his divine sense.

It was a spirit talisman.

It wasn't an ordinary talisman since it had the Liudao Sect's special mark on it. He could exchange it for a high-tier spiritual alchemy furnace from the Liudao Sect.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Ling Xiaojiu is indeed a rich man who is often mentioned in the book!" He had gained advantages on his trip solely because of the item.

However, when Fang Jinyu thought of it, he immediately felt that something was amiss.

No matter how rich Ling Xiaojiu was, the gift was too costly!

At this moment, Fang Jinyu suddenly realized that someone was staring at him. He had thought that it was his enemy, but when he looked over, he realized that it was Ling Wutong.

The young girl was looking at him. When she realized he was looking at her, she quickly looked away with a blushing face.

"Why is this cannon fodder looking at me?"

Fang Jinyu was confused.

So he asked.

When the young girl heard it, she didn't hide her intentions. She was a little shy and said, "Martial Uncle, how do you know that my surname is Ling?"

Fang Jinyu made up a story with a natural expression, "You're only a Qi Condensation stage cultivator, but you can distribute the gifts on behalf of Martial Uncle Ling. Hence, you should be Martial Uncle Ling's younger sister. You can address me as your senior brother and don't have to call me your martial uncle."

42 Having More Female Leads

Ling Wutong nodded her tiny head half-understandingly when she heard Fang Jinyu's response. Afterward, she seemed to realize she had spoken to a strange man for too long. Her little face blushed again, and she said, "Senior Brother, since my cultivation base is low, it's not convenient for me to stay here. You can continue your conversation. My brother will be here soon."

"Alright. Take care, Junior Sister Ling."

...

Fang Jinyu nodded as his eyes twinkled. He started to feel curious about Ling Wutong and thought, "What exactly did this girl go through to become the detestable female antagonist as described in the book?"

"Don't tell me it's because love can easily make one's head go dizzy?!"

Fang Jinyu, a singleton, felt a chill in his heart.

Fang Jinyu pondered seriously, "Perhaps I can consider the ruthless cultivation method…"

The ruthless cultivation method wasn't heartless.

The ruthless cultivation method wasn't devoid of humanity. Instead, it was about abandoning all useless emotions.

If he developed any feelings, no matter if he was happy or sad, he could immediately cut them off with the wisdom sword.

However, he had a problem with the cultivation method.

It was difficult to refine the wisdom sword!

It was a virtual sword that was extremely particular about one's great wisdom. Hence, only those with great wisdom could refine it.

"The key point is that I don't know how to refine the wisdom sword."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but sigh.

If Fang Jinyu had known, he would have practiced hard for three to five months to obtain gains from refining the wisdom sword!

At this moment, the aura of a great Core Formation stage cultivator descended.

Ling Xiaojiu was here.

The sword energy entered the hall one step before him, but it disappeared without a trace in a flash and didn't hurt anyone. In terms of swordsmanship, Ling Xiaojiu could be ranked in the top ten of the Nine Desolations.

It was once stated in the book that Ximen Jianyi's swordsmanship would fall short of Ling Xiaojiu's if he didn't recover his Nascent Soul stage magical power.

Ling Xiaojiu had already reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

Ling Xiaojiu stepped into the hall with a smile on his face right after the sword energy disappeared. Meanwhile, a beautiful lady who ranked 1 at the Foundation Establishment stage, stood beside him.

The lady was naturally charming, but she was as pure as snow.

Who else could it be but the female lead, Su Yier?

After all, other than Du Maner, no one else would be more beautiful than Su Yier. Whether it was Xin Qianqian or the slim Ling Wutong who had yet to mature, none of them could be prettier than Su Yier.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but be shocked when he looked at Su Yier who still ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage. He thought, "Surprisingly, Su Yier's cultivation base only ranks 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage?!"

"Although most of Su Yier's cultivation base comes from dual cultivation, she only copulated with Qin Haoyue once. Hence, she can't improve her cultivation base much. Therefore, she's still mainly relying on her luck. It seems like Du Maner has greatly diluted Su Yier's luck!"

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but feel a little happy when he confirmed his suspicions.

At the same time, Fang Jinyu came up with an idea.

Since Du Maner could slow down Su Yier's cultivation, what if there was another "Du Maner"?

Once Fang Jinyu had the thought, he couldn't suppress it anymore. He was aware that Du Maner's appearance was accidental and that he unintentionally assisted her, but he couldn't help but consider the advantages of having one more female lead!

When the female leads were dragging each other down and their cultivation was improving "slowly," he could break through to the Nascent Soul stage before them. At that time, wouldn't he be safer?

After all, the protagonists were dangerous creatures.

Just as Fang Jinyu's thoughts were running wild, he suddenly realized that the topic of conversation had once again shifted back to him. As he turned to look around, he noticed Holy Alchemist Lu giving him a mocking glance.

Fang Jinyu thought, "This fellow is indeed a lingering spirit!"

If he didn't rank 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, Fang Jinyu would have found an opportunity to kill him.

With this thought in mind, Fang Jinyu cupped his fists and said, "Martial Uncle Ling, my alchemy skills are mediocre. I'm afraid I can't refine the Six Alloy Elixir."

Although Fang Jinyu was in a daze, he heard their conversation.

First, Ling Xiaojiu said that the alchemy furnace corresponding to the spirit talisman could be used to obtain a superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace. However, they had to go to the Liudao Sect to refine a furnace of Six Alloy Elixirs if they wanted to obtain such an alchemy furnace. Otherwise, they would have to wait for three years before they could receive a high-tier spiritual alchemy furnace.

Fang Jinyu naturally didn't dare to agree with it since he had never even heard of the Six Alloy Elixirs. Other than him, several alchemists faced the same question. Hence, none of them dared to agree with it.

Holy Alchemist Lu, on the other hand, must have known the grade of the Six Alloy Elixirs and immediately suggested that Fang Jinyu refine them.

Holy Alchemist Lu said, "Junior Brother Fang, it's not right. No alchemist will have good skills when they just start refining elixirs, right? One must know that the most important thing for an alchemist is his talent! I heard that you just started learning alchemy a year ago, and now you're already able to refine the Core Spirit Elixir. Doesn't your improvement prove that you have great talent?"

Meanwhile, he was smiling gently while he spoke. It was as if they weren't opposing each other anymore. Holy Alchemist Lu acted like a senior who was sincerely guiding his junior brother.

However, Fang Jinyu felt his smile was even more fake than those who compete with each other in the entertainment industry.

Fang Jinyu felt Ling Xiaojiu should be able to tell that Holy Alchemist Lu was exaggerating the situation. Hence, he stopped talking. It was because the book stated that the Liudao Sect Leader was friendly with Ling Xiaojiu. Even when the two of them later fought over Su Yier, they did not turn against each other because of it.

Therefore, Ling Xiaojiu wouldn't let Fang Jinyu go and trick the Liudao Sect.

However, Fang Jinyu's thoughts were overturned by Ling Xiaojiu in the next second.

Ling Xiaojiu casually instructed, "Fellow Daoist Lu's words make sense. In that case, then, Martial Nephew Fang, you should go! A superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace has always been a rare treasure. If it isn't for the Six Alloy Elixir, that guy wouldn't have been willing to take it out."

Perhaps it was because Su Yier was around, or perhaps it was because he was in a good mood, but Ling Xiaojiu seemed to be much more polite to him.

Fang Jinyu was caught off guard.

Fang Jinyu thought, "I'm wrong! I shouldn't have believed that this lovestruck lunatic has logical thinking!"

Holy Alchemist Lu couldn't help smiling.

However, Holy Alchemist Lu soon stopped smiling.

It was because Ling Xiaojiu continued, "There are ten sets of spirit herbs. However, you've only used three sets to refine 21 elixirs. With such a success rate, Fellow Daoist Lu's claim that you're talented in alchemy is completely true."

Fang Jinyu was shocked and widened his eyes.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Is this the power of a Core Formation stage cultivator?"

"How can he easily use his divine sense to find them out even if I've hidden them in different spiritual Hundred-Treasure Box?"

In contrast to Fang Jinyu's shock, the other alchemists were terrified after they heard Ling Xiaojiu's words! It was because they had used at least six sets of spirit herbs to refine 20 Core Spirit Elixirs!

Fang Jinyu only used three sets of spirit herbs and even refined an extra Core Spirit Elixirs… The experienced alchemists couldn't believe the situation! It was because they could only refine five elixirs at most in each batch!

43 No One Knows the Happiness of Helping Others Better Than I Do

Fang Jinyu felt it was awesome to show it off in front of everyone.

At the same time, Fang Jinyu had to admit that posturing unintentionally was the best.

...

After Fang Jinyu returned to Mount Xiaohe, he couldn't help but laugh when he recalled the expressions of the alchemists. However, when he looked around and saw the wedding invitation in his hand, the smile on his face froze.

The wedding invitation naturally had nothing to do with Fang Jinyu.

However, not only did Fang Jinyu have to carry out the other party's orders, but he also had to attend the wedding on that auspicious day. It ruined his mood.

After all, what could Fang Jinyu do when he had no other choices?

Ling Xiaojiu was a great Core Formation stage cultivator!

Qi Condensation stage, Foundation Establishment stage, Core Formation stage, and the Nascent Soul stage were the four main stages. Each stage had great differences. Not only were their lifespans different, but their powers were also incomparable.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but show a gloomy expression.

At this moment, a familiar text box appeared in his field of vision.

[Today is a day with getting a small gain, don't dare to express your anger and want to easily make money.]

[Refined temporary passage to the Lich King's hideout in the City of Liches 1]

"A temporary passage? I can even refine such a thing?" Fang Jinyu's eyes flickered slightly. The appearance of the temporary passage caused Fang Jinyu to speculate even though the plot appeared to have been mishandled.

"Could it be… Could Su Yier have already met the Lich King?"

Fang Jinyu tried to recall the details of the Lich King, but since the City of Liches was the only place outside of the Nine Desolations that couldn't provide him with any opportunities, Fang Jinyu couldn't recall much. He could only remember that the Lich King liked to show off. Not only was he particular about his appearance, but he also liked to recite poems. He was as flirtatious as the legendary "Prince Important."

"Furthermore, he's an unruly and flamboyant person. He fell in love with Su Yier at first sight and started to pursue her passionately the first time he met her. However, his actions shocked her."

With this in mind, Fang Jinyu looked at the wedding invitation in his hand, and his expression suddenly became strange.

"Do you want me to stir up trouble?"

"No, I'm letting her and her lover… I'm letting her and the Lich King live happily ever after."

"I'm doing a good thing!"

"No one knows the happiness of helping others better than I do!"

Fang Jinyu was inspired as he muttered to himself. Suddenly, a water-like barrier appeared in front of him. Through the barrier, he could see a small courtyard with serene scenery. However, its architectural style was full of exotic charm. He could feel its terrifying aura even if he was only watching it through the barrier.

The Lich King's strength was comparable to that of a great Core Formation stage cultivator.

Fang Jinyu didn't hesitate and immediately threw the invitation over.

The wedding invitation was made using the method of tool refinement. Not only did it use high-quality materials, but it also reached the level of a middle-grade spirit tool. It displayed the figures of Ling Xiaojiu and Su Yier in addition to having exceptional offensive and defensive abilities.

The barrier disappeared when the wedding invitation passed through. The fearsome aura from the City of Liches had also disappeared, which made Fang Jinyu heave a sigh of relief.

After all, even though the wedding invitation was gone, it didn't affect him much.

There weren't many alchemists in the Tianling Sect, so any one of them was quite famous. Fang Jinyu could sneak into the wedding banquet without an invitation.

"However, if the Lich King had come earlier, the wedding might not have been able to be held as scheduled."

Fang Jinyu could not help but gloat.

It was because the book had not clearly stated who Su Yier liked. Therefore, even if Ling Xiaojiu had the advantage in all aspects, the Lich King still had the chance to take Su Yier away.

Speaking of which, the female lead seemed to love everyone she saw. However, as soon as she slept with someone, she would immediately fall in love with someone else, as if she didn't want to be responsible for the person she slept with.

"Wait a minute! Why does Su Yier appear to be using the ruthless cultivation method?"

Fang Jinyu was taken aback.

According to the book, there were two types of ruthless cultivation methods. The first type involved using the wisdom sword to cut off and abandon useless emotions. The second type was to fall in love with different people. It valued loving experiences. After countless love tribulations, one would become unblemished.

The second type of cultivation method wasn't considered a formal cultivation method. It was a kind of auxiliary method that could increase the success rate of one's breakthrough. It was considered a secret manual.

Naturally, the depth of one's cultivation of the secret manual increased the likelihood of progressing to the next stage!

It was said that in ancient times, such a secret manual was popular in the Nine Desolations. It even developed into different types. However, such a secret manual disappeared for some reason.

As a result, only "the ruthless cultivation method" and the "unattached to anything method" was left.

Fang Jinyu's expression changed again.

It was because the more Fang Jinyu thought about it, the more certain he was. If Su Yier cultivated her ruthless cultivation to an extremely profound level and became an aromantic, then it could explain why she could break through every stage without any bottlenecks.

An aromantic who had cultivated the ruthless cultivation would no longer have any bottlenecks. As long as she had enough magical power, she could break through the Nascent Soul stage smoothly.

"The protagonists are indeed not easy to deal with. They're so terrifying!"

Fang Jinyu sucked in a breath of cold air and immediately made up his mind to stay as far away from Su Yier as possible.

She was indeed a scary woman!

Afterward, Fang Jinyu began to think of a way to deal with Holy Alchemist Lu.

"The difference in strength is too great. I still need to improve my strength."

After a while, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. After all, strength was the most important thing to the cultivators. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how many schemes they had.

"However, I can collect some interest first!"

Fang Jinyu stood up and walked out of his immortal estate. He then concealed himself and changed his appearance, disguising himself as a disciple who ranked 3 in the Qi Condensation stage and appearing at the "Little Tianling Yard."

It was a small structure created especially for newcomers to the sect to cultivate.

The disciples that had been recruited recently were all here.

The moment Fang Jinyu arrived, he saw the little girl's gloomy expression. She didn't look angry, but more like she was doubting life.

However, Fang Jinyu didn't come here to find her. Instead, he came here to "spread rumors" about himself.

In the "Little Tianling Yard," there were some disciples who entered the sect with their cultivation base. Fang Jinyu was pretending to be such a person.

Soon, a few people greeted him.

Fang Jinyu acted as if he were very familiar with them, and they soon became brothers with him. Afterward, he expressed that he knew a lot about the sect in an extremely conceited tone.

Naturally, some people were dissatisfied with his deliberate performance. However, there were also people willing to be his bootlickers. After all, they were eager for such a "fool" to reveal more useful information.

As a result, in less than two hours, 90% of Tianling Sect's Qi Condensation stage disciples knew that Holy Alchemist Lu had personally admitted that his talent in alchemy was far inferior to "Martial Uncle Fang Jinyu" and repeatedly expressed that "Martial Uncle Fang Jinyu" wasn't inferior to him.

After all, people loved to gossip.

Afterward, even the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators began to know about it…

In the beginning, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators didn't believe the rumors. However, the incident that happened on Mount Lingjian soon started to spread. In particular, the words of Holy Alchemist Lu, who "strongly recommended" Fang Jinyu, were spoken word for word.

44 There Are Bad Apples All Over

Fang Jinyu hadn't left the Tianling Sect, but he was already popular among the cultivators outside the sect. As for his reputation in the sect, everyone knew that he had won over all the alchemists and was only inferior to Nangong Li, who was in a life-and-death closed-door cultivation! After all, Fang Jinyu was someone that even a Holy Alchemist acknowledged that he was inferior to him!

It turned out that Holy Alchemist Lu angrily smashed several things due to the matter. After he calmed down, his expression was as gloomy as if he had eaten rotten food.

...

It was because he had to pay the Tianling Sect at least 200000 spirit stones.

During the day Fang Jinyu spread the rumor, he had been focused on searching for information on the Six Alloy Elixir.

Although it was hard to find pieces of information about the elixir, luckily, he found it.

However, Fang Jinyu had to set off immediately.

Since the Liudao Sect and the Tianling Sect were very far apart, and the Nine Desolations was a land of cultivation without teleportation array formation, Fang Jinyu could only bring the elixir records with him to board the stargazing flying ship.

The stargazing flying ship was a means of transportation in the immortal cultivation world, similar to the subway. It was led by the six major sects and assisted by other immortal sects to take a hundred years to refine it. It would pass through various sects and immortal cities along the way.

Of course, there was more than one stargazing flying ship.

There were hundreds of them, and they were divided into several grades. The higher the grade, the more regions the stargazing flying ship could go to.

Fang Jinyu was sitting on the highest grade of the stargazing flying ship, which cost 50000 spirit stones to ride.

However, Fang Jinyu didn't feel bad at all.

It was because someone had paid for his trip.

Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu was putting away the elixir records he had just finished reading in a business-class room on the stargazing flying ship.

"The Six Alloy Elixir turns out to be considered a Core Formation stage elixir…"

Fang Jinyu finally understood why the Liudao Sect was willing to offer a superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace as a reward.

The Six Alloy Elixir was a Foundation Establishment stage elixir. However, it differed from ordinary elixirs because it was an elixir that couldn't be refined!

If a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage consumed one and cultivated it with his life, he could possess the pseudo-Core Formation stage magical power with it. The great divine powers he could use were 30% of that of a Core Formation stage cultivator!

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but be shocked. It was because the elixir could be considered a mini-cheat. Cultivators who consumed the Six Alloy Elixir wouldn't have any side effects and wouldn't affect them to break through the Core Formation stage in the future!

Furthermore, since the cultivator had experienced some of the wonders of being a Core Formation stage cultivator, it might help him to understand the essence of breaking through the Core Formation stage!

Fang Jinyu's mind began to race.

However, Fang Jinyu shook his head, activated the restrictive enchantment, and began to cultivate.

Fang Jinyu was serious when he was cultivating. However, even though he was cultivating, he could not feel any improvement in his inner energy.

A few hours later, a familiar text box appeared.

[Today is a day of concentrated cultivation. However, since the progress is slow, it's almost a day of no gains.]

[Refined understanding in cultivating the supreme wind-thunder scripture 1]

Fang Jinyu couldn't hide his joy when he saw it. With such a gain, his trip wouldn't be a waste of time.

The next day, a Messenger Talisman triggered the restrictive enchantment early in the morning.

Afterward, a voice sounded from the Messenger Talisman, "Junior Brother Fang, we've arrived at the Liudao Sect."

The Messenger Talisman was sent by a cultivator who was in charge of steering the stargazing flying ship.

"So fast?"

"No wonder it costs 50000 spirit stones as a travel fee."

Fang Jinyu's heart skipped a beat, but at the same time, he was overjoyed. He could return with the alchemy furnace and begin working on his alchemy the sooner he finished his mission.

Fang Jinyu was a man who could randomly obtain an opportunity once a day. Hence, he wasn't interested in exploring and looking for treasure, except for obtaining the main character's opportunity.

Of course, the superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace was an exception.

Fang Jinyu held the talisman in his hand as a token of proof and arrived at the Liudao Sect. Afterward, he naturally didn't encounter any melodramatic events and was welcomed inside by a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

The Liudao Sect was different from the Tianling Sect. As one of the six great immortal sects, it was a huge immortal city.

Immortals and mortals lived together in an orderly manner.

It was because the Liudao Sect was a sect with many rules and a strict hierarchy.

The sect's rules stipulated the benefits, tasks, and status that cultivators with different cultivation bases could have.

Of course, those with a strong background or those born into noble cultivation families could enjoy greater special privileges!

Because of the excessive restrictions on cultivators, the Liudao Sect was always short on alchemists.

The Liudao Sect, on the other hand, had excelled in the creation of formations, talismans, and other refinement-related arts.

The Liudao Sect was especially good at refining artifacts and was the best in the Nine Desolations!

No one would dare claim to be better than the Liudao Sect in terms of refining artifacts

Meanwhile, the Liudao Sect's Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, who was in charge of welcoming Fang Jinyu, was explaining the rules to him along the way. For example, Fang Jinyu had to greet cultivators with a higher cultivation base than him right away when he encountered them. On the other hand, he could punish cultivators with a lower cultivation base than him if they didn't greet him in time.

Of course, there were always exceptions if the other party came from a noble cultivation family. If one's status was inferior to the other party's, even if the other party's cultivation was lower than his, he would still have to greet them first.

Fang Jinyu's mouth twitched when he heard it. He thought, "No wonder the book mentioned that the Liudao Sect would mysteriously disappear after ten years."

"The three Nascent Soul stage Grandmasters who vanished from the Liudao Sect are probably just an initiating factor."

Fang Jinyu thought.

There were three Nascent Soul stage Grandmasters in the Liudao Sect. They were all middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, which set them apart from the Tianling Sect's Grandmaster. The Grandmaster, who had the highest cultivation base among them, was only ranked 5 in the Nascent Soul stage.

Outsiders and even most of the Liudao Sect's disciples thought that the three pillars were still in the sect.

However, the three middle-stage Nascent Soul Grandmasters mysteriously disappeared a long time ago.

It was just because the matter was being kept secret by the higher-ups of the Liudao Sect. In fact, the disappearance of the Nascent Soul stage Grandmasters would never be exposed, even if it were hidden for more than a hundred years.

It was just like Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would occasionally go into closed-door cultivation for three to five months, and Nascent Soul stage cultivators would go into closed-door cultivation for decades or even centuries!

It was typical for a few Nascent Soul stage Grandmasters to vanish for more than a century without being found!

The reason it was discovered later was because of a bad apple in the Liudao Sect.

His father was one of the sect elders of the Liudao Sect.

Thus, he also knew the secret.

The reason his father told him the secret was that he used to be arrogant and despotic. His father wanted to take the opportunity to make him restrain himself. However, his father never expected that he would turn a deaf ear to everything and even provoke that Nascent Soul stage cultivator who was one of Su Yier's admirers! He then exposed the news to survive…

Although Su Yier's admirer wasn't a cruel and merciless devil, he wasn't a very broad-minded person either. Moreover, who would be kind to him when he repaid evil with good?

Hence, Su Yier's admirer immediately spread the news.

At this moment, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who had been talking all the way suddenly stopped. Afterward, he said in a serious tone, "Alchemist Fang, the sect leader is in the hall. Since I'm not qualified to enter, you'll have to enter alone."

45 I Have 10%

The hall was built in a solemn style. The hall of the Liudao Sect was unlike the palaces commonly seen in the secular world, it had the aura of a Core Formation stage.

It was because the Liudao Sect had refined it into a superior-tier spirit tool.

...

Furthermore, it was a spirit tool that was similar to an array!

Fang Jinyu was a little shocked by the Liudao Sect's wealth. He thought, "It is indeed the sect that is the best at refining artifacts in the Nine Desolations. Although other sects have superior-tier spirit tools, none of them has the one that the Liudao Sect has! The power that can be released from such a huge superior-tier spirit tool after activation is much more powerful than that of ordinary magic treasures!"

After entering the hall, Fang Jinyu saw a few cultivators were already inside. There was a Core Formation stage cultivator and the rest were all Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. As Fang Jinyu stepped in, someone said, "Alchemist Fang Jinyu from the Tianling Sect has arrived."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but turn to look at the person speaking. However, he found that the owner of the voice was a middle-stage Foundation Establishment stage cultivator standing at the entrance.

Fang Jinyu's mouth twitched at the situation again.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Oh, Lord! I've never seen such a grand scene before! I didn't even see such a scene when I'm at Tianling Sect's Mount Guiwang!"

At this moment, someone said in a disgruntled tone, "Tsk-tsk! The Tianling Sect is one of the six great sects, but why their disciples are so rude?"

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

As expected, he still couldn't avoid the melodramatic plot!

Fang Jinyu's eyes lit up with realization as he looked over. It was because the person who spoke was the "bad apple."

It was a man dressed in red, like a groom.

The book had a description of his appearance and style, so Fang Jinyu recognized him at a glance. After all, he had a clear personality.

Therefore, Fang Jinyu ignored him. Other than being overly showy, this fellow, Lu Shaojun, and Lu Shaojun's father all had the same personality. It was probably because the book author didn't put much effort into describing the supporting characters, so they used the same template.

"Tianling Sect's disciple, Fang Jinyu, greets the Liudao Sect Leader." Fang Jinyu cupped his fists and bowed.

Fang Jinyu bowed for the sake of the other party being a Core Formation stage cultivator.

The Liudao Sect Leader was called Chen Donglai. He had a single ice-attribute spiritual root, which was also known as the Tianling spiritual root. His cultivation base had long ranked 9 in the Core Formation stage. Perhaps it was because of his spirit root and his cultivation technique, but Chen Donglai looked as cold as ice as if he was an unsmiling iceberg man.

"Great." Chen Donglai nodded slightly, then asked, "How confident are you in refining the Six Alloy Elixir?"

Fang Jinyu answered honestly, "10%."

As soon as Fang Jinyu finished speaking, the hall was in an uproar, especially the one wearing red. He immediately jumped out and roared, "10%?! Are you kidding me?! Is the Tianling Sect going to fool us in such a way? It's simply preposterous! Where is Nangong Li?! Why didn't she come?"

This time, Fang Jinyu responded, "Senior Sister Nangong is still in a life-or-death closed-door cultivation. If she succeeds, she'll become a Core Formation stage cultivator."

After Fang Jinyu finished speaking, even the person wearing red went speechless.

Holy Alchemists could refine elixirs that were one stage higher than themselves. However, if Nangong Li became a Core Formation stage cultivator, her status would change qualitatively.

Whoever must use at least a magic treasure to invite such a person to refine elixirs.

A superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace could invite an ordinary Core Formation stage cultivator, but it would never be able to invite a Core Formation stage Holy Alchemist.

"Did Brother Ling ask you to come?" Chen Donglai asked with a slight frown.

"Are you mentioning Martial Uncle Ling Xiaojiu?" Fang Jinyu didn't make any mistakes in such a regard. He secretly cursed at the situation. However, as long as he spoke in front of others, he would always address Fang Jinyu as his martial uncle.

"Yes." Chen Donglai nodded.

Fang Jinyu said, "Martial Uncle Ling asked me to come."

Chen Donglai immediately stopped frowning. He then said, "Alright, I know the situation. This is the prescription for the Six Alloy Elixir. However, there are only three portions of spirit herbs. You can go and choose a suitable alchemy room!"

However, when Chen Donglai said it, the few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the hall could not hold back their dissatisfaction anymore. One of the elders hurriedly said, "Sect leader, please think twice! These are the last three portions!"

Chen Donglai had made up his mind. He then said, "I don't have to consider it anymore. Brother Ling and I have known each other since we were young. He won't recommend Fang Jinyu to me if he thinks he isn't a talented alchemist. Moreover, can you still invite other alchemists?"

Upon hearing Chen Donglai's words, the people in the hall were instantly speechless.

Although many cultivators knew how to refine elixirs, only a few could be addressed as alchemists. They had previously invited many famous alchemists, but they had all failed.

There was even a Holy Alchemist who ruined his reputation.

It was because the Six Alloy Elixir was too hard to refine!

The Holy grade Alchemist claimed that there were numerous ways in which refining the Six Alloy Elixir went against the basic principles of alchemy. It was simply not an elixir that could exist in the immortal cultivation world!

Fang Jinyu collected the prescription and the spirit herbs. Afterward, two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators led him to choose an alchemy room.

Although the two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were at the same stage as the one who had brought Fang Jinyu to the hall, they obviously had a higher status. If he was not mistaken, they were born into aristocratic families in the immortal cultivation world.

Although the Liudao Sect didn't have any alchemists, they had lots of alchemy rooms.

There were also many alchemy helpers here.

Fang Jinyu wasn't particular about the alchemy room. After all, he was in another sect's territory, so he randomly picked one and walked in.

After opening the restrictive enchantment, Fang Jinyu began to study the prescription for the Six Alloy Elixir.

Fang Jinyu took the whole day to understand it.

Fang Jinyu's head felt empty. Even though he had memorized the prescription, he wasn't sure how to make it more precise.

In fact, it even gave him the feeling that it wasn't a Foundation Establishment stage elixir!

"What a strange elixir…"

Fang Jinyu said while glancing forward.

[Today is the day of being forced to face the prescription for the Six Alloy Elixir.]

[Refined the wonder of the Six Alloy Elixir 1]

As the familiar text box appeared, Fang Jinyu's mind was immediately clear. It allowed him to gradually have the most direct understanding of the special elixir.

"This elixir involves some of the fundamental mysteries of the Core Formation stage?"

Fang Jinyu recalled the few Core Formation stage cultivators he had encountered and couldn't hide his surprise. When he read the records of the elixir, he thought that it would only help in increasing one's inner energy.

"It's not a simple elixir! Speaking of which, the Six Alloy Elixir can be considered a wondrous pill, so why isn't it mentioned in the book? Oh, right! It is something that values a little to the female lead, Su Yier, who can easily break through to the Core Formation stage…"

Afterward, Fang Jinyu took out a set of spirit herbs and began to familiarize himself with their medicinal properties.

After Fang Jinyu familiarized himself with the medicinal properties, he didn't start refining the elixirs right away. Instead, he took out the prescription and began to study it.

It was not until the next evening that Fang Jinyu, who was satisfied with the appearance of the text box, began to refine the elixir.

Fang Jinyu opened the alchemy furnace, put the spirit herbs in order, circulated his inner energy, and activated the alchemy furnace. Two hours later, the elixir was done when the fire was extinguished!

The process was natural and smooth. Fang Jinyu refined the elixirs all at once!

46 This Sect Will Still Be Destroyed

"Luckily, I completed the task."

In the solemn and dignified hall, Fang Jinyu handed over the 12 Six Alloy Elixirs he had refined.

...

Since the Core Formation stage divine sense was magical, Fang Jinyu, who had seen it once, didn't choose to keep it for himself.

Chen Donglai glanced at the 12 Six Alloy Elixirs. He didn't change his expression much and he still looked as cold as ice. It formed a stark contrast between him and the agitated Foundation Establishment stage cultivators around him. However, when he looked at Fang Jinyu, he showed a surprised look.

Afterward, Chen Donglai couldn't help but say, "No wonder Brother Ling asked you to come! You just used one set of spirit herbs to succeed when there are three!"

"Sect leader, you're overpraising me. I succeed because I'm lucky."

Fang Jinyu thought, "As expected, I can't hide the Hundred-Treasure Box that includes the two sets of spirit herbs on me. I wonder if all the Core Formation stage cultivators can do it, or only the late-stage Core Formation cultivators."

Meanwhile, Chen Donglai's words caused the hall to be in an uproar.

The Liudao Sect's cultivators looked at Fang Jinyu in astonishment. They were surprised that he had only used one set of spirit herbs to refine 12 Six Alloy Elixirs.

A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator couldn't help but ask, "Why did you stop refining the following elixirs?"

Although 12 Six Alloy Elixirs were enough to create 12 pseudo-Core Formation stage cultivators, there were more than a hundred cultivators that ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage in major sects such as the Liudao Sect!

More than a hundred cultivators ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage, but there were only 12 elixirs. How were they going to spilt it as demand greatly exceeded supply?

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but look at him as if he was looking at an idiot. He said, "Are you kidding me? Do you dare to break the rules of the alchemy world? Why do you think I dare?"

If Fang Jinyu wasn't at the Liudao Sect, he would have been cursing him.

It was because the person who asked the question was only a cultivator who ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Obviously, he had just broken through the Foundation Establishment stage not long ago.

The reason he could appear in the hall was due to his family.

Meanwhile, Chen Donglai said, "This is the superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace we agreed on. Here you go!" When he said it, he was still expressionless.

The sect leader's words could be considered to have set the tone of the matter.

No matter how unwilling the others were in their hearts, they could only nod in agreement.

Fang Jinyu thought that the matter had come to an end. After all, although there were retards in the Liudao Sect, Chen Donglai was a normal cultivator.

According to the book, although Chen Donglai had once fallen in love with the female lead, Su Yier, he felt that she had found someone she truly loved after finding out she had an affair with someone else. Thus, after giving her his blessings, he no longer pestered her and disappeared with the snow that year.

After Fang Jinyu received the superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace he had been yearning for a long time, he happily prepared to leave.

Fang Jinyu could be considered a top alchemist since he had a superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace.

It was hard to find a magical alchemy furnace. Even a semi-magical alchemy furnace had to rely on heaven and earth to nurture it, not to mention that it was compatible with one's cultivation attributes.

Therefore, many alchemists would do their best to obtain a superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace.

However, since the stargazing flying ship that could go to the Tianling Sect had yet to arrive, Fang Jinyu could only wait a few days in the immortal city of the Liudao Sect.

Unfortunately, Fang Jinyu's delay led to an incident.

When Fang Jinyu had just checked into an immortal inn, a group of people suddenly barged in and disturbed him before he could cultivate in the garden.

The leader was dressed in red.

It was the "bad apple."

"Liu Yuxiu?" Fang Jinyu frowned slightly and called the man's name.

However, the man in red's subordinate was unhappy with how Fang Jinyu addressed him. He shouted, "How dare you! How dare you call Senior Brother Liu's name?"

Fang Jinyu ignored the man and asked Liu Yuxiu, "What do you want?"

Liu Yuxiu smiled and said, "It's nothing much. All I ask is that you refine two more furnaces of Six Alloy Elixirs."

"No problem, prepare twenty portions of spirit herbs."

After Liu Yuxiu heard it, he shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Fang, I think you've misunderstood me. What I meant is I want you to refine the Six Alloy Elixirs with the two portions of spirit herbs you have."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but ask, "Are you kidding me?" The book once mentioned that Liu Yuxiu was a bad guy, but he hadn't expected him to be such a bastard.

He had earned the two portions of spirit herbs with his abilities!

However, it looked like Liu Yuxiu wanted Fang Jinyu to pay out of his pocket and was also planning to make him work for him for free?!

"Junior Brother Fang, I'm now gently persuading you because I don't want to make you look bad! I have two cultivators who rank 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, and my family owns this immortal inn. Do you think you can leave?" Liu Yuxiu sneered, and he didn't bother to hide his intention of threatening Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu asked, "Does your father know about this?"

"This is my father's will."

Liu Yuxiu snorted.

Liu Yuxiu then continued, "It's fine if you don't want to refine it, but hand over the two portions of spirit herbs!"

"Alright!"

Fang Jinyu immediately took out the Hundred-Treasure Box that contained the two sets of spirit herbs.

The two sets of spirit herbs were undoubtedly precious. Most of them could only be used by Core Formation stage cultivators. However, compared to his safety, Fang Jinyu would naturally give up on it.

Liu Yuxiu didn't expect Fang Jinyu to be so decisive. However, he had expected it to happen. The best situation was if he could get the two sets of spirit herbs back.

After all, the Liudao Sect was inferior to their past. To keep up its good name, the current Liudao Sect desperately needs a group of pseudo-Core Formation stage cultivators.

Otherwise, Liu Yuxiu's father wouldn't allow him to do this.

Although the Six Alloy Elixir was a Foundation Establishment stage elixir, the spirit herbs used in it would tempt the Core Formation stage cultivators. It was because the Six Alloy Elixir was made with five hundred years old spirit herbs, most of which were rare species.

Liu Yuxiu felt it was fine that Fang Jinyu refused to refine elixirs for them. In the eyes of the aristocratic families, finding another alchemist wasn't a troublesome matter. At most, they could just hire a Core Formation stage alchemist!

However, it might cause the secret of the Six Alloy Elixir to be leaked…

Fang Jinyu didn't do anything as he watched Liu Yuxiu leave. In fact, he behaved himself and waited until the stargazing flying ship returned.

However, Fang Jinyu disembarked halfway through the journey after boarding the stargazing flying ship to head back to the Tianling Sect.

Fang Jinyu appeared in an immortal city.

It was an ordinary immortal city, where cultivators and mortals lived together. There was a great Core Formation stage cultivator in charge here.

The name of the immortal city was "Seven Treasures."

Fang Jinyu came here with a purpose.

"Liu Yuxiu, it seems like the heavens want to destroy the Liudao Sect!"

After asking around, Fang Jinyu arrived at an ordinary-looking elixir store. The elixir store only sold Qi Condensation stage elixirs. Many immortal cities had such elixir stores, which were very common.

However, Fang Jinyu didn't enter the elixir store.

Fang Jinyu found a temporary immortal estate that included an alchemy furnace and refined a furnace of elixirs for himself.

To be more precise, it was a furnace of semi-finished elixirs.

It was because it only had half the power of the Six Alloy Elixirs. It was the result of the lack of spirituality in the spirit herbs used.

After thoroughly understanding the secret of the Six Alloy Elixirs, Fang Jinyu was no longer only good at refining the elixirs.

The effects of the semi-finished Six Alloy Elixirs were simple. Without regard to the cultivator's cultivation base, they could become a pseudo-Core Formation stage cultivator in rank 1 after consuming it!

However, cultivators wouldn't possess any Core Formation stage power. It was only used to bluff.

47 The Skeleton Girl

The Liudao Sect's solemn-style hall, which was filled with superior-tier spiritual artifacts, had a very dismal aura.

"You guys robbed the two sets of spirit herbs?"

...

Chen Donglai was still the same. He showed a poker face and talked coldly. However, he couldn't hide his impatient and annoyance.

Chen Donglai had been tired of being the Liudao Sect Leader for a long time.

However, since the Liudao Sect and the noble families helped him a lot, he had to be in the position. Otherwise, he couldn't imagine what kind of trouble this group of scions who were used to doing whatever they wanted would come up with after he stepped down from the position. Everything would be fine if the three Nascent Soul stage Grandmasters were still around, but now, they had mysteriously disappeared…

With this in mind, Chen Donglai couldn't help but feel a little tired even though he was a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Core Formation stage.

However, due to the special nature of his cultivation method, he could hide his emotions well. Thus, he still looked as cold as ice.

"Sect leader, don't worry. We've already spread the news about Fang Jinyu returning the spirit herbs to us of his own accord. If he doesn't know how to appreciate our kindness, we only need to firmly deny his words. At that time, who will believe in an unknown Foundation Establishment stage cultivator? Everyone will believe us, the Liudao Sect, one of the six great sects, right?"

Liu Yuxiu quickly said.

Although Liu Yuxiu's father was also ranked 9 in the Core Formation stage, Chen Donglai was more likely to break through the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, Liu Yuxiu didn't dare to act rashly in front of Chen Donglai.

Meanwhile, a Core Formation stage cultivator said, "Sect leader, Junior Brother Liu is doing this for the Liudao Sect! Although Fang Jinyu refined 12 Six Alloy Elixirs has exceeded our expectations, it isn't enough. After all, there are quite a few people in the sect who are qualified to obtain a Six Alloy Elixir. Moreover, we also have to keep one or two elixirs for the ordinary disciples who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage."

The Core Formation stage cultivator was Liu Yuxiu's father's disciple. His name was Qiu Shengyi. Although he was a Core Formation stage cultivator, he was only a disciple with no background. Moreover, Core Formation stage cultivators needed more cultivation resources, which made him even rely on the Liu family.

Most of the resources in the cultivation world were under the aristocratic families' control. Among them, the top-notch family had a monopoly of nearly 70% of resources!

The Liu family was one such top-notch family.

It was because one of the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Liudao Sect was from the Liu family.

Chen Donglai glanced at Qiu Shengyi and immediately understood the Liu family's attitude. Hence, he said, "Then who are you going to ask to refine the Six Alloy Elixir?"

Chen Donglai didn't want to get involved in the matter anymore. He wanted to avoid ending up disgracing himself.

"Sect leader, my master has already contacted an old friend of his." Qiu Shengyi immediately laughed, because Chen Donglai's words indicated that the matter would be over. However, they couldn't do such a thing again.

Upon hearing it, Chen Donglai couldn't help but felt strange and asked, "Isn't Elder Liu worried that the prescription of the elixir will be leaked so he has been refusing to ask a Core Formation stage alchemist to refine it?"

Qiu Shengyi laughed awkwardly and said, "It's because there's no other way…" He had once seen the prescription for the Six Alloy Elixir. However, even though he wasn't an alchemist and was only ranked 1 in the Core Formation stage, he could tell that the prescription involved the profoundness of the circulation of the Core Formation stage's magical powers. Not to mention the Core Formation stage cultivators with high cultivation bases.

Luckily, the spirit herbs required for the Six Alloy Elixir were rare, and the Liu family firmly controlled the core spirit herbs.

Therefore, even if the prescription was leaked, they would only encounter some minor troubles.

…

At the Seven Treasures Immortal City.

A cultivator wearing a bamboo hat walked into an unremarkable small elixir store.

Initially, it wasn't a big deal. Every day, many cultivators would enter and leave the elixir store. They were either here to buy elixirs or sell spirit herbs. Some wealthy cultivators who wanted to learn alchemy would occasionally come to buy spirit herbs.

However, when the cultivator gradually revealed his aura, it triggered the array formation in the elixir store. Afterward, a white-haired came to the front desk in a panic and invited the cultivator to the backyard. He immediately bowed and said, "I, an old man, greets my senior! May I ask if is there something you want to instruct me since you're here?"

The Core Formation stage cultivator said calmly, "Although the Sun family is down and out, you still have a bit of wealth."

The white-haired old man was shocked when he heard it.

Luckily, the mysterious cultivator's following words made him feel at ease.

"Don't worry. I'm not here to trouble you. On the contrary, I have a common enemy with you. It's just that my enmity with the Liu family isn't as deep as your Sun family's."

The white-haired old man couldn't help but ask, "Are you mentioning the Liu family of the Liudao Sect?"

The mysterious cultivator said, "Absolutely!"

The white-haired old man cursed, "The Liu family is indeed a bunch of trash! They are also a bunch of ingrates!" Although he didn't know what kind of enmity the mysterious cultivator had with the Liu family, he was sure that it wasn't wrong to curse them.

The best way to get closer to someone was to scold their common enemy.

The mysterious cultivator said, "I like what you've said. However, I'm here to ask for your Sun family's help to spread a piece of news."

The white-haired old man quickly said, "Senior, please go ahead."

The Sun family was also one of the top-notch families in the past. As the saying goes, a centipede dies but never falls. Even if the Sun family was in decline, they still had some wealth and connections.

Of course, it was best not to use their wealth and connections.

However, how dare he, a cultivator who ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage, reject a great Core Formation stage cultivator who came looking for him?

"The three Nascent Soul stage Grandmasters of the Liudao Sect mysteriously disappeared for a long time. It's just that the Liudao Sect has been hiding the news for a few years."

"What?!" The white-haired old man was shocked.

"You'll understand if you recall the strange things that the Liudao Sect has done over the years." The mysterious cultivator turned around and left.

However, before the mysterious cultivator left the elixir store, he emphasized, "As long as the Liudao Sect isn't destroyed, no matter how much wealth and connections the Sun family has accumulated, it won't be enough to threaten the Liu family."

The white-haired old man was stunned. When he came back to his senses, the mysterious cultivator had disappeared. However, there was a jade bottle in front of him.

The white-haired old man was shocked as he opened the jade bottle.

It was because there were 10 Foundation Establishment Elixirs in the bottle!

"This senior even know about Ah Yu's condition, so it seems I have to do it. Besides, this senior is right. As long as the Liudao Sect isn't destroyed, those seniors won't dare to attack the Liu family even if they want to help our Sun family." The white-haired old man became serious and made his decision.

However, the white-haired old man had to meet his granddaughter first.

The white-haired old man activated an array formation, and a mysterious passage appeared in a hidden place of the elixir store.

Sorcery energy was lingering in the passage.

As the white-haired old man entered the passage, he soon saw a white skeleton that was as clear as jade. Moreover, he could see a vague figure of a beautiful girl on the white skeleton.

48 The Special Yanling Spirit Root

Since there was only one stargazing flying ship that could go to the Tianling Sect from the Seven Treasures Immortal City and it would arrive here three days later, Fang Jinyu could only wait in the city.

At this moment, Fang Jinyu had removed his disguise, and his bamboo hat had been turned into ashes by his alchemy furnace.

...

Fang Jinyu was the person who had gone to the Sun family's elixir store.

Fang Jinyu carefully analyzed his previous actions and said, "10 Foundation Establishment Elixirs are just enough for Sun Xinyu, who has the Yanling spirit root, to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. At the same time, it is also a threat. I hope the Sun family won't do anything stupid."

After all, Fang Jinyu was plotting against one of the six great sects in the Nine Desolations!

Additionally, Fang Jinyu was unable to foresee the enigmatic strategies used by Core Formation stage cultivators and Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Hence, he tried his best to be careful.

It was also the reason why Fang Jinyu didn't spread the news himself but disguised himself before coming to the Sun family!

The book once mentioned the Sun family. The Sun family was once one of the top-notch aristocratic families in the Nine Desolations. They even had several Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Later on, the Sun family encountered problems. Originally, they could have made it through. However, the Liu family, which had received the Sun family's favor in the early years, suddenly launched an attack, causing such a large aristocratic family to fall apart.

The Liu family even burned the Sun family's bridges and caused them to disappear in less than a hundred years.

The Sun family only had Elder Sun and his descendants left. They hid in the Seven Treasures Immortal City and struggled on their last legs until now.

Elder Sun didn't dare to use the heritage left behind by the Sun family because he was afraid of being exposed. As a result, his granddaughter, Sun Xinyu, died young because she failed to break through the Foundation Establishment stage.

Sun Xinyu had an extremely special spiritual root-The Yanling spirit root. It was a kind of spiritual root that had only appeared briefly in ancient times!

This kind of spiritual root could turn a living person into a devil and torture them until they lose their humanity. Moreover, cultivators with a Yanling spirit root would be extremely dependent on sorcery energy.

However, it didn't mean that they had to become devils.

As long as the cultivator could break through the Foundation Establishment stage, they would be able to come back from death and recover their vitality. In fact, they could even master powerful techniques that were similar to the authentic spirit's great divine powers while having a Core Formation stage cultivator's lifespan!

It was just that cultivators with a Yanling spirit root needed ten times more resources than ordinary cultivators to break through the Foundation Establishment stage.

Initially, Elder Sun had prepared 300000 spirit stones for his granddaughter to let her break through the Foundation Establishment stage. Unfortunately, he encountered a sudden surge in the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

On the other hand, cultivators with a Yanling spirit root only had less than a year left to live after they turned into devils.

A year wasn't enough for Elder Sun to get 700000 spirit stones. After all, his elixir store's customers were all Qi Condensation stage cultivators. How many spirit stones could he earn from a Qi Condensation stage elixir?

"I think I didn't make any mistakes in my words and actions."

Fang Jinyu recalled the whole situation and calmed down.

The book mentioned that Su Yier's admirer dared to spread the news to the outside world as he pleased because he was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

He was a cultivator who ranked 7 in the Nascent Soul stage!

With such a cultivation base, even if the three missing Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Liudao Sect returned, they wouldn't dare to seek out Su Yier's admirer for revenge.

However, things were different for Fang Jinyu. It was because he was solely a cultivator who ranked 4 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even a cultivator who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage would be enough to make him suffer, let alone a Core Formation stage cultivator. It could be said that cultivators who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage would be completely different from cultivators who ranked below 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage. The difference was bigger than the gap of strength between a Qi Condensation stage cultivator and a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!

It was because a cultivator who ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage could refine the spiritual fire.

It was especially so for those spiritual fires that could be ranked on the spiritual fire ranking. Just a wisp of it was enough to easily kill a cultivator who ranked below 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, even if the cultivator had the authentic spirit bloodline!

After that, Fang Jinyu began to cultivate his great divine powers.

Fang Jinyu wouldn't refine the Core Spirit Elixir since he was outside the sect. Even though he had all the spiritual items on him, he was still worried. He took the chance to study the supreme wind-thunder scripture since he didn't have the time to cultivate the lightning-attribute great divine powers in it.

The lifeless thunderstorm technique was different from the myriad transformation technique, the wind-attributed great divine power. The lifeless thunderstorm technique would instantly erupt and could kill the enemy at the moment the thunder appeared!

Fang Jinyu had expected that he would only be able to understand half of it in three days. However, he was surprised that his initial success in cultivating the myriad transformation technique had helped him understand the lifeless thunderstorm technique. Moreover, he obtained two gains in lightning-attribute great divine power, which allowed him to successfully cultivate the beginner level of the lifeless thunderstorm technique three days later.

Although Fang Jinyu had lost too much of his lightning-attribute inner energy, he only needed to go back and refine a furnace of elixirs that could increase his vital energy, and he would recover.

After all, Fang Jinyu had the authentic spirit Kui cattle bloodline.

It could generate lightning!

Naturally, Fang Jinyu was in a good mood after cultivating the lifeless thunderstorm technique. It was only when he arrived at the place where he was waiting for the stargazing flying ship that he realized that he had no more spirit stones on him.

Previously, Ling Xiaojiu had only given Fang Jinyu two "tickets" for the stargazing flying ship, which was just enough for him to make a round trip.

Although Fang Jinyu had gotten off the stargazing flying ship halfway, he had used up his second ticket.

"Forget it! When the time comes, I'll just use a Foundation Establishment Elixir to pay for it." However, Fang Jinyu didn't care much about it since he had plenty of Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Although Fang Jinyu had exchanged more than a hundred of them in the sect, he still had plenty of them left.

Meanwhile, a huge stargazing flying ship slowly landed. The cultivators, who had been waiting for a long time, went up to buy the "tickets" and prepared to board.

Fang Jinyu followed after the crowd. However, a dispute broke out between a man and a woman. They were both Qi Condensation stage cultivators. Fang Jinyu wasn't in the mood to gossip until he heard the woman's name, Fang Ning.

"Could she be that 'Fang Ning'?"

Fang Jinyu recalled a character mentioned in the book. Fang Ning was also an unlucky person, and more importantly, she was related to Fang Jinyu by blood.

Thus, Fang Jinyu listened carefully.

Fang Jinyu heard the woman called "Fang Ning" shout, "I'm your fiancée! But you want to sleep with another man for a Foundation Establishment Elixir?!" At this moment, he was sure that she was his distant cousin. She was one of the top ten unlucky characters in the book.

Hence, Fang Jinyu walked over.

Meanwhile, the man was so angry that he slapped Fang Ning as he roared.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

There were two sharp smacks. The first was the man who slapped Fang Ning, and the second was Fang Jinyu who slapped the man. Fang Jinyu slapped the man hard, which sent the man flying even though he didn't use his inner energy. The man spat out a mouthful of blood when he fell to the ground.

Fang Jinyu took out a Foundation Establishment Elixir and threw it at the man.

"Your engagement with her is called off."

After Fang Jinyu said it, he pulled Fang Ning up in the stargazing flying ship. As for the "ticket," he used a Foundation Establishment Elixir to pay for it.

Due to the skyrocketing price of the Foundation Establishment Elixir, even if Fang Jinyu sold it at half the price, it would still be enough to pay for their "tickets."

Ever since Fang Ning was slapped by her fiancé, she had been in a daze. It wasn't until Fang Jinyu pulled her onto the ship that she came back to her senses.

When Fang Ning realized that she was on the stargazing flying ship, she was shocked. Afterward, she was stunned to see Fang Jinyu.

After a moment of hesitation, Fang Ning said in disbelief, "Brother Jinyu?"

"It's me."

Fang Jinyu naturally didn't have any memories of Fang Ning. However, it didn't stop him from answering her. It was because his cousin had a miserable ending in the book!

According to the book, Fang Ning's scumbag fiancé would deceive her from the beginning to the end. Moreover, she would also die tragically after being abandoned by her scumbag fiancé.

It could be said that Fang Ning had lost both her life and wealth.

49 Did You Raise Pigs Before?

[Today is a day to peel oranges and comfort your heartbroken sister.]

[Refined appearance 1]

...

Fang Jinyu took a glance and found that it was a useless gain in his appearance again. However, his heart didn't waver since he knew he couldn't gain anything from the ordinary Fang Ning.

Fang Jinyu had known it beforehand.

The only reason Fang Jinyu helped Fang Ning was that she ended up having a miserable life in the book.

First, Fang Ning suffered a lot just to earn a few more spirit stones for her fiancé to cultivate. She had three-element spiritual roots. However, it made her delay her cultivation progress for ten years, and was still ranked 2 in the Qi Condensation stage.

It was because Fang Ning had given all the spirit stones she had saved to her fiancé.

Fang Ning was coaxed by her fiancé to sleep with several men. After suffering all the humiliation, she finally managed to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Elixir for her fiancé.

Afterward, Fang Ning's fiancé abandoned her after he successfully broke through the Foundation Establishment stage. From that moment, he disappeared.

Fang Ning's fiancé left the heavily injured Fang Ning behind and she foolishly waited for her fiancé to return. However, her fiancé's enemy came to skin her alive and even refined her into a Human Skeleton Elixir.

It was an extremely brutal and inhumane alchemy method.

At the same time, it was also a common method among the strongest apocalypse demons.

If the Lei sisters were unlucky that the word "miserable" could be written on their bodies. Then, Fang Ning's thighs would undoubtedly be filled with the word "miserable".

Although the Lei sisters were refined into a magic treasure, they died very quickly and didn't suffer any torture.

However, Fang Ning had suffered a lot in her life and still couldn't live in peace after death.

"Have another orange!" Fang Jinyu had nothing to say, so he peeled another orange for Fang Ning.

Fang Ning pouted and refused, "Thank you, Brother Jinyu, but I really can't eat it anymore." At first, she was quite upset, but after she ate her fill, she wasn't sad anymore. She only wanted to lie down for a while to digest the oranges.

Fang Jinyu nodded and put down the orange in his hand.

Although the former Fang Jinyu had met Fang Ning when he was young, Fang Jinyu had no impression of her at all. Hence, Fang Jinyu believed that the former Fang Jinyu had forgotten that he had such a distant cousin.

However, Fang Jinyu could understand him because he and Fang Ning were of different generations.

Moreover, their meeting when they were young was just a coincidence.

Fang Jinyu said, "When we reach the Tianling Sect, I'll give you a Messenger Talisman. You can go to the Little Tianling Yard and use it for registration."

Fang Ning was shocked and said, "What?"

Fang Jinyu said, "I'm a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. I can let you join the sect directly." Although he had given his recommendation spot to the little girl, he believed the sect leader was willing to help in the matter since he was an alchemist.

After all, Fang Ning had three-element spiritual roots, and she wasn't untalented.

"Brother Jinyu, you're already a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator?!" Only then did Fang Ning realize that she had shouted a little too loudly. She then said embarrassedly, "Oh, yeah! After all, you've already taken out a Foundation Establishment Elixir."

Fang Jinyu advised Fang Ning, "Work hard on your cultivation. I'll give you Foundation Establishment Elixirs in the future."

"Brother Jinyu, thank you so much!" Fang Ning was so touched that she looked like she wanted to cry. When she was touched, she took out a piece of animal skin paper that was slightly damaged and handed it to Fang Jinyu. She said, "Brother Jinyu, I'm sorry that I've nothing to repay you. However, I accidentally found this on the corpse of a wild beast that had died strangely when I was picking herbs."

Fang Jinyu's expression was a little strange. After Fang Ning took out the animal skin paper, his fortune-telling technique reacted.

Although the reaction wasn't very strong, it wasn't weak either.

This time, Fang Jinyu wasn't stingy with his luck. Thus, after a moment, he couldn't help but look at the animal skin paper in disbelief. It was because the whereabouts of a type of spiritual fire was recorded on it.

Moreover, it was a lighting-attribute spiritual fire.

It was the purple-volt spiritual fire!

The purple-volt spiritual fire was ranked seventh on the Nine Desolations' spiritual fire ranking.

It could be said that it was one of the top spiritual fires in the history of cultivation in the Nine Desolations.

"No wonder the book mentioned that Fang Ning's fiancé will have such an enemy." Fang Jinyu understood the situation. If he hadn't interfered with Fang Ning's matter, she would have continued to be deceived by her fiancé, and then she would have fallen out of her mind and given the animal skin paper to her fiancé.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Did I unintentionally gain benefits from someone I've helped?"

"The purple-volt spiritual fire is more valuable than getting a magic treasure, even though all I get today is a useless gain in my appearance."

After all, it was a lighting-attribute spiritual fire!

"Brother Jinyu, do you recognize the contents of this animal skin paper?" Fang Ning saw Fang Jinyu change his expression. However, she didn't feel the animal skin paper change much. It was because the contents were still the same pattern and symbols that she couldn't understand.

Fang Jinyu didn't deny it and said, "It's a thing that can be considered to have recorded something extraordinary."

"That's great!"

Fang Ning immediately laughed happily. At the same time, she felt relieved because she didn't want to owe Fang Jinyu anything.

Fang Jinyu continued, "If you have once shown this thing to others, then you can't leave the Tianling Sect for the next ten years." The strange symbols on the animal skin paper were the words of the apocalypse demons. It could be said that it was an apocalypse demon's treasure map that was lost here.

According to the book, after Fang Ning's fiancé broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, he was curious and got someone to translate the contents of the animal skin paper. Afterward, the apocalypse demons there discovered him and led to the pursuit.

Even a Core Formation stage cultivator would be tempted by the purple-volt spiritual fire!

"However, he probably won't have a chance." Fang Jinyu thought of the Foundation Establishment Elixir that he had deliberately thrown out in public. For him, the Foundation Establishment Elixirs were unnecessary, but things were different for the other Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. It was their "divine weapon" to avoid decades of suffering in the immortal city.

After all, most of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in immortal cities had to rely on loans to buy Foundation Establishment Elixirs to break through their cultivation.

For the sake of its reputation, the immortal cities wouldn't force the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators to work for that many years. As long as cultivators paid enough spirit stones, or they paid a Foundation Establishment Elixir and 100000 spirit stones as interest, they would be exempted from labor.

Therefore, Fang Ning's fiancé would definitely die!

There would definitely be Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the Seven Treasures Immortal City who couldn't help but kill him!

Thinking of this, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but feel a little amazed. Without realizing it, he had the capital to kill someone without having to do it himself. Afterward, he peeled an orange and brought it to Fang Ning's mouth. He said, "Here, have another orange."

Fang Ning was speechless.

Fang Jinyu noticed Fang Ning was looking at him strangely, and he looked over. He then remembered that she had eaten her fill, so he took the orange back and broke off a piece to put in his mouth.

The "ticket" from the Seven Treasures Immortal City to the Tianling Sect cost 10000 spirit stones. It cost an additional 5000 spirit stones for a business-class room.

Fang Jinyu was currently in a business-class room.

Naturally, a business-class room would have high-quality services. The oranges were the exclusive gift of the business-class room.

It was a type of spirit orange that required three years to bear fruit, so it contained a lot of spiritual energy. Although it couldn't improve a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's cultivation base, it tasted excellent. As a result, Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and even Core Formation stage cultivators would still purchase it.

Suddenly, Fang Ning asked, "Brother Jinyu, did you raise pigs in the village before?"

50 This Girl Is a Little Weak

In the Seven Treasures Immortal City, the Sun family's elixir store, which had suddenly announced that it would be closed for several days, finally reopened. However, nobody cared about it because more than a dozen small elixir stores like the Sun families' were operating in the Seven Treasures Immortal City.

Only people who were used to doing business in the Sun family's elixir store would care about it.

...

Afterward, the cultivators who had entered the elixir store for the opening of it all found a strange, beautiful young girl inside. People describe the girl in such a way because the girl's skin was ashen as if she had no blood in her body. Not only did she look thin, but she also looked fragile as if she could fall apart at any time!

Even an old man with one foot in the grave seemed to have a longer life than the young girl.

However, none of the Qi Condensation stage cultivators who entered the store dared to be presumptuous. They even respected the young girl.

It was because the young girl was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!

Soon, the news that the owner of the Sun family, Elder Sun's granddaughter had successfully broken through the Foundation Establishment stage spread like wildfire.

After all, the matter of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage was a big deal for any rogue cultivator.

Since the Sun family didn't show any signs of purchasing the Foundation Establishment Elixir, it even attracted the city lord to send people to inquire about the situation. Of course, the city lord didn't intend to question Elder Sun. The city lord just wanted to remind Elder Sun and his granddaughter not to spread the Foundation Establishment Elixirs if they had any of them.

It was because only the monopolized Foundation Establishment Elixirs were worth money!

Otherwise, a Foundation Establishment Elixir would at most be worth 2000 spirit stones. After all, the early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators' "divine elixir"-Spirit Summoning Elixir, only cost 800 spirit stones per elixir. Not to mention that the Foundation Establishment Elixir was only an elixir that could help the Qi Condensation stage cultivators to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. The initial price of 30000 spirit stones was raised by the joint efforts of the various sects and the aristocratic families!

Initially, the people sent by the city lord wanted to invite Elder Sun's granddaughter to work for the city lord. After all, in their eyes, Elder Sun's granddaughter was a cultivator who naturally broke through the Foundation Establishment stage and would be good at fighting. However, they immediately changed their mind when they saw Sun Xinyu's "weak" appearance.

It was because the city lord had to compensate a large sum of spirit stones if a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who worked for them died.

Even if the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator had died in an accident and not in the line of duty!

They were worried that "Fairy Sun" might accidentally overuse her inner energy while cultivating and end up killing herself.

Therefore, no matter how envious they were of a cultivator who naturally broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, they decisively gave up on her.

"Fairy Sun, I'll see myself out. Please stop sending me off." After persuading Sun Xinyu, the people sent by the city lord left in a hurry.

Sun Xinyu couldn't help but snort.

Sun Xinyu thought, "Hmph! I only looked weak, but I'm not that weak! I have just dispersed the aura of death and recovered my vitality. It's hard for me to regain my body of flesh and blood, alright?!"

"If it was a few days ago, they would only be able to see my skeleton!"

Meanwhile, Elder Sun walked out and cast a look at Sun Xinyu. Sun Xinyu understood and went to the backyard with her grandfather.

Elder Sun finally opened his mouth and said softly, "We just need to wait for three more days. The news that the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Liudao Sect disappeared will spread like wildfire."

Sun Xinyu thought for a while and said, "Great! Since our Sun family had already done as we were told, I believe the senior won't harm us. However, Grandfather, we must move to another place just in case. Since he can find us here, it means that others can also find us here."

"I've already found the new place. It's a secret place of our Sun family in the early years. If I hadn't accidentally found the key I lost back then, I wouldn't have remembered the place. Ah Yu, now that you have 500 years of life, you can stay there and break through the Core Formation stage!"

When Sun Xinyu heard Elder Sun's words, she couldn't help but slightly change her expression. She asked, "Grandfather, how about you?"

"Since I'm old, I don't have many years left to live. If the Liu family finds out about the secret place due to my activation, I'll stay here and attract their attention for you." After Elder Sun finished speaking, he laughed carefreely.

Elder Sun would die without regrets if he could exchange his death for his granddaughter's safe journey to the secret place and nurture a Core Formation stage cultivator for the Sun family!

Sun Xinyu said with a frown, "But… Grandfather, you're only ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage, and you can only make some elixirs for the Qi Condensation stage cultivators. Moreover, you're not even an alchemist. Even if the Liu family knows about it, they will at most send an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator here. They might not even care."

Meanwhile, Elder Sun's facial expression stiffened.

Elder Sun's passion, which was just ignited, was all gone in an instant.

Elder Sun glared at his granddaughter and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Although it was the truth, it hurt his pride!

"Grandfather, please don't be angry. I have a better idea."

"What idea?"

"Previously, it was not convenient for me to meet people before I broke through the Foundation Establishment stage. But now, it's fine since I've already broken through the Foundation Establishment stage. I believe the Tianling Sect won't reject a cultivator who has a Yanling spirit root and is sure to break through the Core Formation stage. Grandfather, as long as I join the Tianling Sect, you will also be protected by the sect." Sun Xinyu's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she spoke. It was the idea she had long planned.

Elder Sun was shocked and asked, "Why did you choose the Tianling Sect while the Wanyuan Sect is the closest sect to us? The Wanyuan Sect has a Core Formation stage cultivator, and they once received a favor from our Sun family 300 years ago." Elder Sun had considered joining a great sect before. He thought of the Wanyuan Sect because it was one of the six great sects of the Nine Desolations.

"Sometimes, people who received help from us might become our enemies." Sun Xinyu shook her head and continued, "Moreover, if that person remembers the favor we gave him back then, how could he not have done anything all these years? I remember that he's already a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Core Formation stage, right?"

Elder Sun immediately became speechless.

Sun Xinyu continued, "As for why I chose the Tianling Sect? It's because the Tianling Sect is the only one of the six great sects that aren't completely controlled by the aristocratic families. Hence, it can ensure fairness to the greatest extent. Previously, the price of Foundation Establishment Elixir had skyrocketed everywhere, except for the Tianling Sect."

Elder Sun asked, "Isn't that because of an overly kind and honest alchemist?" He had heard about the incident. If the incident hadn't happened in the Tianling Sect and the alchemist was willing to exchange the Foundation Establishment Elixirs with cultivators outside the sect, he would have rushed over a long time ago.

"However, the alchemist is still safe and sound, right? What would happen to the alchemist if it was a different sect, such as the Liudao Sect?"

Elder Sun was speechless. If there was an alchemist who dared to do such a thing, even in the Liudao Sect, where alchemists were scarce, the alchemist would definitely die.

Hence, Elder Sun immediately packed up his luggage and sold the elixir store. He was ready to leave with his granddaughter.

Elder Sun didn't plan to return, even if the Tianling Sect refused to accept Sun Xinyu.

It was because this place was no longer safe.

However, if someone like Elder Sun, who suddenly sold his family business, wanted to leave smoothly, he had to report his situation to the city lord. Initially, he thought the process would be troublesome. However, he didn't expect the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in charge of the matter to be particularly easygoing. He immediately let them go when he heard Elder Sun was leaving with his granddaughter.

Once Elder Sun left, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's disciple couldn't help but ask, "Master, I heard that Elder Sun's granddaughter has broken through the Foundation Establishment stage. If we easily let them go, I'm afraid the city lord will blame us when he finds out…"

"There's something you don't know. Elder Sun's granddaughter is extremely weak. Elder Sun sells his family business and leaves here, most likely to seek doctors for his granddaughter, who just broke through the Foundation Establishment stage."

51 What Kind of Cheat Is She?

The "ticket" fee of the stargazing flying ship naturally corresponded to the grade of the stargazing flying ship. The better the grade, the faster one could travel in the sky. On the contrary, it would be slower.

Therefore, even though Fang Jinyu set off from the Seven Treasures Immortal City, it still took him three days to reach the Tianling Sect.

...

However, it wasn't the slowest stargazing flying ship.

The slowest stargazing flying ships were only twice as fast as most Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who could fly on their spirit tools. Its "ticket" only cost 1000 spirit stones.

The stargazing flying ships could avoid most of the dangers and it strictly prohibited cultivators to seek personal revenge while taking boarding the ship. Therefore, even the worst stargazing flying ship could be said to be worth the money.

Although there were mortal dynasties and various sects in the Nine Desolations, there were still many dangerous desolate forbidden lands.

There were three most famous ones among many dangerous desolate forbidden lands!

Even Nascent Soul stage cultivators couldn't guarantee their safety in the three famous desolate forbidden lands, not to mention the Core Formation stage cultivators.

However, the stargazing flying ships could bypass or even pass through the desolate forbidden lands!

Otherwise, the various sects wouldn't have spent a hundred years just building many stargazing flying ships. Although they did it for profit, more importantly, it was for the convenience of their disciples.

It was said that without the stargazing flying ship, even if one was a sect disciple, he would likely die when they traveled to a distant place. It was to the extent that the cultivators of that era mainly cultivated hardly in their immortal estates. However, cultivation wasn't just about cultivating hardly in the same place. Therefore, the cultivators of that era would always have a mental illness.

After all, the early-stage cultivators were just ordinary people who had mastered extraordinary powers.

The place where the stargazing flying ship stopped wasn't in Yuan City but inside the Tianling Sect. It stopped at a place next to Mount Lingjian. Although Ling Xiaojiu might not always be around on Mount Lingjian, a great Core Formation stage cultivator was always nearby. Moreover, who dared to make trouble here when it was stopped inside one of the six major sects?

However, when Fang Jinyu alighted from the stargazing flying ship, he noticed that another one had arrived.

Fang Jinyu took a closer look and found out that it was a high-grade stargazing flying ship.

Fang Jinyu had been on a middle-grade ship, while the one he had taken to the Liudao Sect was a superior-grade stargazing flying ship.

"Oh! It also comes from the Seven Treasures Immortal City." Fang Jinyu took a moment to identify it but wasn't surprised. A high-grade stargazing flying ship traveled at an extremely fast speed, it was faster than most Core Formation stage cultivators. It was normal for it to catch up with a middle-grade stargazing flying ship and arrive at the Tianling Sect together.

Fang Jinyu was going to show Fang Ning the way. After all, she had just arrived and wasn't familiar with the Tianling Sect. However, at this moment, a young girl's figure suddenly attracted his attention.

It wasn't that the girl was so pretty that made Fang Jinyu attracted to her… Or he was love at first sight, but it was because the young girl looked too weak!

Her face was pale and she was as thin as a stick.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "How did such a weak cultivator break through the Foundation Establishment stage?!" He was surprised because he knew cultivation wasn't about creating something out of nothing. Cultivators not only need to refine spiritual energy to form their inner energy, but they also need to be healthy.

It didn't require the cultivators to have strong bodies. However, cultivators should at least be able to catch talismans, spirit tools, and so on with one hand. They couldn't be too weak!

At the very least, cultivators couldn't be as weak as the young girl!

However, Fang Jinyu didn't care much about the matter. He then turned around and brought Fang Ning to the Little Tianling Yard.

With Fang Jinyu's help, Fang Ning successfully joined the sect.

The Tianling Sect had thousands of disciples who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage. Moreover, there were tens of thousands of Qi Condensation stage disciples. Hence, the sect didn't mind accepting another Qi Condensation stage cultivator.

Fang Jinyu looked around but he couldn't find the little girl. He was surprised, but when he returned to Mount Xiaohe, he found the little girl squatting in front of his immortal estate with her chin resting on her hands. She looked like she was thinking about life, but also doubting life.

Fang Jinyu was familiar with the scene. He had seen it once before when he was "spreading rumors" about himself.

Thus, Fang Jinyu walked over curiously and squatted at the door with the little girl.

The little girl looked over when she heard the commotion. She was shocked to see Fang Jinyu and shouted, "Are you an idiot?! Don't tell me you've even forgotten how to open your immortal estate!"

Fang Jinyu reached out and pinched her cheek. He said, "I'll give you a chance to rephrase your words."

The little girl was confused and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

"I came over to take a look because you were squatting down and looked like you were going to take a bite out of the ground." Fang Jinyu looked calm and continued as he spread his hands, "After all, I've never seen anyone who wants to eat dirt."

"You're the one who wants to eat dirt!" The little girl stood up immediately, but because she had been squatting for too long, her legs gave way and she fell into Fang Jinyu's arms.

Fang Jinyu was unmoved while he was holding the little girl in his arms.

Fang Jinyu picked the little girl up with one hand and opened his immortal estate. After permitting her to open his immortal estate, he asked, "Then what's wrong with you?"

The little girl said hesitantly, "I feel so strange…"

Fang Jinyu asked, "What makes you feel strange?"

"I can understand the spells and techniques taught in the Little Tianling Yard with a glance and can even fill in the gaps. In addition, I can even understand what the cultivators who rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage are doing when I watch them cultivate. Moreover, the strange thing is that it seems like I can't cultivate my inner energy, but I can cast spells as I wish. Look!"

The little girl waved her fair hand in front of Fang Jinyu as she spoke. Suddenly, many wind blades appeared and directly hit Fang Jinyu's face.

However, the wind blade disappeared with a flash of lightning. Fang Jinyu wasn't injured, and not even a strand of his hair was messed up.

Qi Condensation stage spells couldn't harm the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Fang Jinyu looked at the wind and said, "Your wind blade can kill a cultivator who ranks 5 in the Qi Condensation stage, but it doesn't pose much of a threat to cultivators who rank above 7 in the Qi Condensation stage."

"I'm not showing you how powerful my spells are. I can cast a more powerful spell! It's just that… Don't you feel weird? Aren't you shocked and think my situation is unbelievable?" The little girl's big eyes were looking at Fang Jinyu, full of curiosity.

The little girl was stunned when she first discovered it. Hence, she wondered why Fang Jinyu could remain calm.

"Why should I be shocked?"

Fang Jinyu retorted.

"Don't you find it strange?"

Fang Jinyu shook his head and said, "No!" He thought, "You even slapped Ximen Jianyi's sword of destiny out of his body, so what's the big deal that you can cast spells?"

"I can cheat, but you little girl is stronger than me!"

"However, can a person who reincarnated after failing to break through the Nascent Soul stage be so powerful?" Fang Jinyu couldn't help but begin to doubt his initial speculation.

The Nascent Soul stage cultivators seemed to be able to switch between physical and virtual forms, gather and disperse at their will, and open secret realms. Although they could do a lot of things, they couldn't simply seize other people's luck!

However, where did the little girl come from if she didn't reincarnate after she failed to break through the Nascent Soul stage?

52 Thank You for Benefiting Me!

"Keep it. This bottle of elixirs can help you disguise your cultivation base as an early-stage Qi Condensation stage cultivator. This is the middle stage, and this is the late stage. Each bottle contains 20 elixirs, and each elixir can help you disguise your cultivation base for seven days. You can tell me anytime if you want to disguise yourself as a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. I'll refine elixirs for you."

Fang Jinyu placed the three jade bottles on the table and briefly introduced each bottle.

...

The little girl was stunned for a moment and asked, "There's such a magical elixir?" She looked at Fang Jinyu in confusion because she had never heard of such an elixir.

"Didn't I already refine it for you?" Fang Jinyu rolled his eyes.

"I mean, why didn't our sect sell it before?"

Fang Jinyu explained, "It's because it's something I've recently figured out." The elixirs were, of course, weakened versions of the Six Alloy Elixir. After understanding the secret of the Six Alloy Elixir, he could develop the corresponding elixirs according to his needs even without the prescription.

"How did you figure it out?"

"I once wanted to try and see if I could get an elixir that could disguise me as a Core Formation stage cultivator." Fang Jinyu replied half-truthfully, but he glanced at the little girl as he spoke.

"You succeeded?" The little girl was shocked and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

"I have a soundproof restrictive enchantment on my immortal estate. Moreover…" Fang Jinyu was pleased with the little girl's self-awareness, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. He said, "I'm the only Foundation Establishment stage on Mount Xiaohe!"

Although Mount Xiaohe had richer spiritual energy than that of Yuan City, it was still far inferior to the other peaks.

The disciples who were arranged to stay at Mount Xiaohe had no choice but to stay here when they were in the Qi Condensation stage. However, once they successfully broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, they would immediately move to peaks with richer spiritual energy.

The pace of the cultivator's cultivation was greatly influenced by the local spiritual energy's density.

For example, a cultivator with three-elemental spiritual roots who could use elixirs to increase his inner energy a few times a year on Mount Xiaohe would need nearly 20 years to become a late-stage Qi Condensation stage cultivator, which is a cultivator who ranks 7 in the Qi Condensation stage.

However, once he moved to a peak with rich spiritual energy like Mount Goddess, he could break through rank 7 in the Qi Condensation stage in around 12 years by using the same elixirs.

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would only gain more since it could have a significant impact on the Qi Condensation stage cultivators!

If Fang Jinyu hadn't exploded his alchemy furnace so many times, he might still be cultivating on Mount Lingyao.

Hence, how much commission did the person in charge of buying the alchemy furnace at Mount Lingyao get?

"Then, can you give me one?" The little girl's eyes were full of hope as she blinked at Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu poured himself a glass of water and found a place to sit down, pretending not to have heard her.

The water was a spiritual spring exclusively available in the Tianling Sect. It flowed from underground spiritual veins and was rich in spiritual energy. It was a spring used for alchemy, but every alchemist would receive a limited amount. It was just that Fang Jinyu had a high success rate in refining elixirs, so he had a lot of it left.

If it were any other alchemist, the spiritual spring water would not even be enough.

Fang Jinyu's attitude displeased the little girl, but she didn't say anything. She walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and shook him gently. She said, "Can you give me one please…"

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but be stunned by her clingy actions and asked, "Where did you learn this from?"

"I saw Su Yier doing this with a man earlier on. The man was initially mad because of her wedding, but after she did it, he was no longer angry."

"How did you see it? You weren't discovered, were you?" Fang Jinyu was shocked.

"I was counting the stars at the time. At first, there was no one around. They came over by themselves." The little girl pouted. As she said it, her black eyes suddenly turned, and she continued, "Give me one, no, three, of that elixir of yours, and I'll teach you how to hide from Core Formation stage cultivators!"

Meanwhile, the little girl revealed a proud expression and said, "I came up with this on my own. I'm the only one who knows!"

"How can you be sure that you won't be discovered by Core Formation stage cultivators?" Fang Jinyu was persuaded, and he started to believe the little girl because of his fortune-telling technique.

"The man who was secretly dating Su Yier is a Core Formation stage cultivator! However, I feel that there's something strange about that man. His aura differs slightly from Su Yier's fiancé's aura." The little girl frowned slightly and looked like she was confused by the situation.

It was the Lich King!

Fang Jinyu's eyes flickered. He didn't expect the Lich King to arrive so early and even sneak into the Tianling Sect. He could not help but be impressed by the fact that the Lich King was mentioned in the book as a Core Formation stage cultivator who could compete with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Although the Lich King was only a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Core Formation stage, he was powerful enough to fight with Grandmasters who ranked 1 or 2 in the Nascent Soul stage even without using his seventh magic treasure.

The Lich King could even kill a Grandmaster who ranked 1 or 2 in the Nascent Soul stage if he used it!

If that was the case, the little girl's hiding method couldn't be as simple as being able to hide from a Core Formation stage cultivator…

"I'll give you five."

Fang Jinyu took out a jade bottle. The bottle held the remaining elixirs that he had refined from the furnace in the Seven Treasures Immortal City.

"Why are you suddenly becoming so generous? Then I'll teach you a way to open up the mystery realm as compensation." The little girl's eyes curved, and she was instantly overjoyed.

"What's that?" Fang Jinyu was surprised because he had never heard of it.

However, it didn't matter.

It was because his fortune-telling technique had reacted once again.

"This is also something I suddenly figured out!" The little girl raised her chin proudly, then happily told Fang Jinyu how to open up the mystery realm.

After Fang Jinyu heard it, he fell into a daze.

It was because the so-called method of opening up the mystery realm was to open up the secret realms. However, it reduced the size of the realm and required an external object as support.

"However, I will have a small portable space if I can open it up." Fang Jinyu couldn't help but feel excited because if he could create such a "mystery realm," he could hide from a Core Formation stage cultivator's divine sense!

Meanwhile, the little girl said, "Not just Core Formation stage cultivators… I think it can hide from Nascent Soul stage cultivators too, but I haven't tried it…"

Fang Jinyu raised his eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure?"

The jade bottles that Fang Jinyu took out vanished when the young girl waved her hand.

There were no magical power fluctuations, nor were there any strange lights. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air.

The little girl casually said, "It's because after I opened up the mystery realm, I haven't encountered any Nascent Soul stage cultivators!"

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

What a terrifying little girl!

53 The Second Name, Qing Fu

Fang Jinyu was certain that the little girl wasn't reincarnated after failing to break through the Nascent Soul stage. It was because after the little girl disguised herself as an early-stage Qi Condensation cultivator and successfully obtained the identity card of the Tianling Sect, he saw her name on the card-Qing Fu.

Qing Fu claimed that she suddenly thought of it and she used it as her name because she couldn't forget it no matter what.

...

However, the book once mentioned it.

There was a mysterious split soul of Su Yier. When Su Yier returned from the apocalypse, it suddenly run out to take something, causing her to be in danger and almost die.

Although Su Yier managed to escape from danger in the end since she was the story's main character and even obtained a huge benefit, she was still dissatisfied with it.

Thus, the mysterious split soul explained the reason.

It was because it had discovered something related to its donor.

It was a broken token with three names engraved on it. However, the first name could only be seen with the word "Ting," while the third name was completely blurred.

The mysterious split soul had said that the first name on the token was the name of its donor.

As for the second name that was clear, it was-Qing Fu!

If the little girl didn't reveal her miraculous abilities, Fang Jinyu would at most think that it was a coincidence. After all, there were many people with the same name in the world. But now, could it still be a coincidence?

The little girl was definitely of the same origin as that mysterious split soul, and she might even be as powerful as it!

"Does it mean that there's someone with the cultivation base above the Nascent Soul stage?"

"However, why is there no such thing as ascending to the higher stage here?"

Fang Jinyu muttered to himself, but he didn't think much about it.

He began his closed-door cultivation again.

However, this time, it wasn't to improve his cultivation base.

Fang Jinyu was preparing to open up his "mystery realm."

The method was so profound that he had to work hard for more than a month and obtained more than 20 related gains before he successfully cultivated to the beginner level.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu used the stone orb magic treasure as a form of support to open up the "mystery realm" that Qing Fu had mentioned.

"No wonder she called it the mystery realm?"

Fang Jinyu finally understood the origin of the name as he was sensing the "mystery realm" which was less than a cubic meter. It was because the small portable space was like playing hide-and-seek with him. He had no idea where it was hiding, and even the stone orb magic treasure had disappeared.

However, the more amazing thing was that Fang Jinyu could place some items into it with just a thought. On the other hand, he could instantly take out the items he had placed within with just a thought too.

"Ten years of life is worth it!"

Fang Jinyu looked at himself in the mirror. Even though he had some gains in his appearance to prevent himself from being ugly, he had inevitably "aged" a little. It was the price he had to pay for using the stone orb magic treasure. He had to sacrifice a part of his lifespan and gave it to the magic treasure.

However, it wasn't a big problem, because it only made Fang Jinyu look more mature than before from his original youthful appearance.

Fang Jinyu didn't end his closed-door cultivation. Instead, he began to cultivate the camouflage technique that Qing Fu had taught him.

The camouflage technique was harder to cultivate than opening up the mystery realm. However, Fang Jinyu had better luck this time. His hard work helped him to obtain gains related to cultivating the camouflage technique and didn't obtain any useless gains.

Thus, Fang Jinyu successfully cultivated the beginner level of the camouflage technique that Qing Fu had called "I've hidden very well" in just a month.

"It's a pretty good name but I think you can let the others name it next time."

The corner of Fang Jinyu's mouth twitched in slight disdain. Then, he began to prepare for elixir refining.

Previously, Fang Jinyu had used up a lot of his lightning magical power to cultivate the lifeless thunderstorm technique. Hence, he needed to replenish his vitality.

Fang Jinyu had all the spiritual items he needed for refining the elixirs beside him.

Fang Jinyu amassed a large collection of rare spiritual items during his extravagant sale of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs. After all, his customers were the Tianling Sect's disciples. Who could achieve rank 9 in the Qi Condensation stage when they didn't have any treasures with them?

The supreme wind-thunder scripture that Fang Jinyu was currently cultivating could have been considered a treasure of his when he was still a Qi Condensation stage cultivator.

Fang Jinyu took out the alchemy furnace.

A superior-tier spiritual alchemy furnace could change its size at will. After Fang Jinyu had opened up the "mystery realm," he placed the furnace in it.

In addition, Fang Jinyu also put the Green Phoenix Scissors, some processed Foundation Establishment Fruits, the remaining Foundation Establishment Elixirs, some spirit herbs that could be used to refine the Core Spirit Elixirs, and some precious spiritual items in his "mystery realm."

Fang Jinyu only left a few ordinary items on him.

As soon as Fang Jinyu took it out, he felt a sense of poverty because it even included talismans.

As Fang Jinyu circulated his inner energy, his hands created a series of hand seals. The alchemy furnace named the "purple mystical alchemy furnace," immediately began to burn with a blazing flame.

It was the flame that came with the alchemy furnace.

Unfortunately, it wasn't spiritual fire. Only part of its power was close to that of spiritual fire.

After all, it was a reward for outsiders, so the Liudao Sect naturally wouldn't give him the best alchemy furnace.

Fang Jinyu began to refine elixirs.

A few days later, Fang Jinyu recovered his vitality after he consumed the elixirs. His lightning magical power was once again restored.

It was the benefit of having an authentic spirit bloodline!

If Fang Jinyu obtained his lightning magical power from other external objects, he couldn't easily restore it.

"It's time to end my closed-door cultivation."

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Even though he had Authentic Core Fruit, he didn't have enough supplementary spirit herbs to refine the next stage of the Core Spirit Elixir after his previous losses.

It made Fang Jinyu hate Liu Yuxiu even more.

Fang Jinyu thought, "If that fellow didn't steal my spirit herbs, I will still be happily refining elixirs and cultivating!"

"Moreover, I have a treasure like the Six Alloy Elixirs!" Fang Jinyu couldn't help but show a gloomy expression. It was because there were some nameless auction markets suitable for him to use the Six Alloy Elixirs secretly exchange something.

Even if Fang Jinyu didn't necessarily return with any treasures, at least he wouldn't come back empty-handed.

More importantly, Fang Jinyu could replenish the spiritual items he had lost.

With this in mind, Fang Jinyu opened the restrictive enchantment and walked out. He wanted to find someone to ask if there had been any major upheavals in the cultivation world.

Of course, it was a question with an ulterior motive.

Fang Jinyu had wanted to go to Mount Goddess to find out more, but a bird had stopped him halfway.

Fang Jinyu cupped his fists and said, "Second brother."

A black bird landed on Fang Jinyu's shoulder with one of its wings extended. "Third brother, I heard you went to the Liudao Sect. Did something happen there?"

It seemed like the news of the disappearance of the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Liudao Sect had already spread!

Fang Jinyu immediately understood the situation. He said with a natural expression, "Second brother, did anything happen since you asked? However, I returned two months ago and have been in closed-door cultivation ever since. I've just ended my closed-door cultivation."

"Alright, then. Third brother, here is the situation…" The Jade Falcon Myna told Fang Jinyu everything it knew. However, since it had only heard rumors, it not only exaggerated the situation but also turned it into a horror story.

54 The Crap Core Formation Stage Cultivator

According to the Jade Falcon Myna, some paper men passed through the Liudao Sect immortal city during the day. Moreover, vague figures of people who had passed away also appeared in groups in the big and small alleys. There was also a mysterious and unpredictable black fog that came from an unknown place and swallowed everything in the Liudao Sect…

Although Fang Jinyu was expressionless, he felt he could no longer maintain his expression.

...

Wasn't the situation just about the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators in charge of the sect disappearing and causing all kinds of internal and external conflicts that had been suppressed for a long time to break out, so everyone learned enlightenment and split up? Why was it describing it as a mystery?

"However, third brother, I'm not sure whether the information is true, so I came to ask you. But since you don't know either, I'll go to other places to ask." After saying it, the impatient Jade Falcon Myna spread its wings and turned into a black shadow, disappearing without a trace.

In terms of speed, birds were always blessed.

Fang Jinyu thought for a moment and decided not to ask. After all, he had just returned from the Liudao Sect, so it was best not to cause any trouble. Although the aspect was next to nothing, it was inevitable that there would be a few people with wild imaginations.

Fang Jinyu remembered that the Tianling Sect had a cultivator who was extremely good at scouting. If everything went as planned, the "genius detective" would soon end his closed-door cultivation because he failed to break through the Core Formation stage.

"Although I'm not sure about the details, I'm sure that there's something wrong with the Liudao Sect…" With that in mind, Fang Jinyu headed straight for the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li".

Although Fang Jinyu still owed them 100000 spirit stones and the quality of the peak's alchemy furnace was poor, he couldn't resist its good cultivation atmosphere. He once changed to another peak and met a few strange Qi Condensation stage cultivators, so he decided to return to the peak of Mount Lingyao named "Li".

"Senior Brother, these three Foundation Establishment Elixirs will offset the 100000 spirit stones I owe." Fang Jinyu handed the elixirs that were useless to him.

"Junior Brother Fang, you still have more?" Even the person in charge of Mount Lingyao was a cultivator who ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage, he couldn't help but be a little shocked to see the three Foundation Establishment Elixirs in front of him.

"My alchemy skills have improved greatly. I've made a lot of them before. Initially, I wanted to sell them all to our sect's disciples at a discount, but…" Fang Jinyu deliberately didn't finish his sentence, but the person in charge of Mount Lingyao who ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage had imagined the situation.

The person in charge of Mount Lingyao who ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage showed an understanding expression and said, "Sigh. Junior Brother Fang, you're such a kind-hearted person."

Fang Jinyu sighed.

However, Fang Jinyu didn't know what he was sighing about. He just wanted to respond to the situation.

"Junior Brother Fang, did you come to Mount Lingyao to refine elixirs?"

"Senior Brother, I want to buy some spirit herbs." Fang Jinyu showed the list he prepared.

The person in charge of Mount Lingyao took a look and frowned slightly, "Junior Brother Fang, most of the spirit herbs you want are very rare. You probably won't be able to buy it with spirit stones. However, you can exchange your merit points for all of them. Oh, right! There's a Core Formation stage that wants to sell the three-hundred-year-old spirit herbs you request, but you can only buy them with Fire Spirit Pearls."

"Senior Brother, thank you for your information."

Fang Jinyu was overjoyed to hear it. It was because he still had a lot of merit points. Even if it wasn't enough, he could still accumulate it by refining a few more furnaces of elixirs.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu went to exchange for the spirit herbs, It was only then he found that he indeed lack in merit points.

Therefore, Fang Jinyu immediately went to buy some spirit herbs and brought them back to Mount Xiaohe to start refining elixirs.

Half a month later, Fang Jinyu had accumulated enough merit points to exchange for the spirit herbs he needed. He had also upgraded his authority to lend the sect's prescriptions.

Right now, Fang Jinyu also knew how to refine the Spirit Summoning Elixir, a popular elixir among the early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Although Fang Jinyu no longer had any use for it, he still refined a few furnaces to earn spirit stones. He then gave half of it to the sect to accumulate merit points, and the other half to exchange for spirit stones.

When Fang Jinyu was well-prepared, he was going to refine the Core Spirit Elixir.

The Core Spirit Elixir Fang Jinyu was going to refine would possess even stronger spiritual power.

Fang Jinyu only needed to consume one batch of it to break through to rank 5 in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although Fang Jinyu had added quite a few spiritual items this time, he understood the Core Spirit Elixir as well as he did the Foundation Establishment Elixir. Thus, he successfully refined the elixir a day later.

However, it was a pity that only four elixirs were refined in this batch.

It wasn't that Fang Jinyu's alchemy skills were lacking, but that the spiritual items he used lacked spirituality.

Just as Fang Jinyu was about to start refining another batch, someone triggered his restrictive enchantment. He then raised his hand and a Messenger Talisman flew in.

After listening to it, Fang Jinyu found that it was Du Maner.

If it had been anyone else, Fang Jinyu would have waited until he ranked 5 in the Foundation Establishment stage before replying. However, since it was Du Maner, a person who had taken half of Su Yier's luck, he naturally had to treat her differently.

Fang Jinyu put away the purple mystical alchemy furnace and walked out.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle." Du Maner immediately greeted Fang Jinyu when she saw him.

"Maner, you don't have to be so polite." As Fang Jinyu said it, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. It was because Du Maner had greatly improved her cultivation base again.

She was now a cultivator who ranked 6 in the Qi Condensation stage!

Although Du Maner had just broken through rank 6 in the Qi Condensation stage and her aura was still a little unstable, one should consider her previous cultivation base, right?

Du Maner said, "Martial Uncle, I see that lightning-attribute spirit tool again!"

Fang Jinyu pondered for a moment and asked, "You've come here just to tell me this. Is it because the brat who took away that pair of spirit tools has died?"

"Yes."

Following that, Du Maner began to talk to Fang Jinyu with a smile on her face.

After receiving the pair of spirit tools, the cultivator, who came from a strong family and was ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, immediately developed a haughty attitude. Overall, the lightning-attribute spirit tool possessed tremendous power. He could use its power to dominate the Qi Condensation stage disciples and even engage in a brief battle with the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

However, he had bad luck this year. He had just gotten used to the pair of spirit tools, but they were gone after he went outside for a while.

As for how he died?

It didn't matter to Fang Jinyu, but he was happy to hear it.

However, Fang Jinyu's happiness didn't last long. Soon, he was stunned because the sect leader summoned him.

"It has nothing to do with me, right?"

Fang Jinyu was bewildered. It was because the sect leader wanted him to investigate the truth of the death of the cultivator who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage.

The Tianling Sect Leader said earnestly, "Junior Brother, the matter is indeed nothing to do with you. However, Martial Uncle Qi's descendant is dead. When the time comes, anyone who is related to the matter will be noticed by Martial Uncle Qi. After all, that pair of lightning-attribute spirit tools are meant for you in the beginning."

Fang Jinyu was speechless and said, "I don't care about them since they are just a pair of low-tier spirit tools. I can buy a middle-tier spirit tool by just refining a furnace of elixirs."

The Tianling Sect Leader advised, "Junior Brother, do you really refuse to consider it?"

Fang Jinyu shook his head and refused, then turned around and left. He thought, "What kind of ridiculous thing is it?!"

Fang Jinyu had initially thought the matter would end here. However, a Core Formation stage cultivator's aura soon appeared on Mount Xiaohe where he was located and caused his furnace of Core Spirit Elixirs to fall short.

55 Don't Worry, I Will Screw You Over

In the next second, the Core Formation stage cultivator destroyed all the restrictive enchantments in Fang Jinyu's immortal estate. He carried an embryonic form of a Core Formation stage aura with him and looked like he was the only one in the world wherever he went.

The Core Formation stage cultivator's aura exploded in Fang Jinyu's immortal estate.

...

However, in the next moment, the aura was completely retracted. Afterward, the Core Formation stage cultivator said surprisingly.

"What a strong spiritual power! You're refining the Core Spirit Elixir?! If I didn't disturb you today, you would be able to complete refining this furnace of Core Spirit Elixirs, right? It seems that my poor grandson's death has nothing to do with you! Fine! I'll compensate you with this!"

The Core Formation stage cultivator threw something toward Fang Jinyu. He then turned into a beam of light and left.

"Goodbye, Martial Uncle Qi!"

As Fang Jinyu said it, he looked at the item in his hand and changed his expression.

It was a Hundred-Treasure Box that included three stalks of Commiphora Myrrha Herbs, which had a green glow circulating them. It wasn't a type of rare spirit herb. It was even very common in the stalls set up by various rogue cultivators who ranked 1 or 2 in the Qi Condensation stage.

The three stalks of Commiphora Myrrha Herbs were grown for over 400 years!

It seemed like they were picked from the same place.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but say, "What a pity." If the three stalks of Commiphora Myrrha Herbs could grow for another 20 to 30 years and reach 500 years old, their medicinal effects and spirituality would be greatly improved, producing a qualitative change.

At that time, Fang Jinyu could use it to refine elixirs for Core Formation stage cultivators!

However, if the three stalks of Commiphora Myrrha Herbs were 500 years old, they wouldn't have been casually thrown out by a Core Formation stage cultivator as compensation.

Due to the lack of a few decades of age, no matter how old the Commiphora Myrrha Herbs were, they could only be used to refine some Foundation Establishment stage elixirs.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu sighed deeply, "The sect leader is still acting like a brat…"

The book once mentioned that although the Tianling Sect Leader was responsible, he was inevitably biased toward the aristocratic cultivation families.

For example, if two cultivators caused trouble at the same time, one of them was from an aristocratic cultivation family, and the other was just an ordinary disciple of the sect. The one to take the blame would definitely be the ordinary disciple of the sect.

As for the disciple who was born into an aristocratic cultivation family?

Of course, he wouldn't be blamed at all, and the situation didn't matter to him. He might even appear as the person who discovered the disaster in time.

Therefore, the reason the sect leader specially summoned Fang Jinyu to investigate the death of the descendant of the Core Formation stage cultivator with the surname Qi was probably that he wanted Fang Jinyu to seem more suspicious and help the murderer get away.

"Fine, I should have thought of this earlier. Even if it's a low-tier lightning-attribute spirit tool, it's still valuable. How could it be returned to the Tianling Sect after the person died?"

With this in mind, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but exert a dangerous aura.

Even though Fang Jinyu had shown some talent in alchemy, he was still nothing in the eyes of the aristocratic cultivation families.

It was because even though there were very few alchemists who met the standards, there were many who did not! One could be an alchemist if their success rate in refining elixirs at their stage was 30%. It was indeed a tough requirement for many cultivators. However, it was a piece of cake for a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to refine Qi Condensation stage elixirs and a Core Formation stage cultivator to refine Foundation Establishment stage elixirs! They could easily achieve a 30% success rate!

Moreover, the book mentioned that the aristocratic cultivation families seemed to have a mysterious item that could refine early-stage elixirs on a large scale.

However, the mysterious item had a time limit and could only be used once every hundred years.

Therefore, only a Holy Alchemist could be regarded highly by the aristocratic cultivation families!

"Speaking of which, the sect leader is acting in this manner for the second time…"

Fang Jinyu muttered to himself.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but want to change the sect leader when he raked up the past.

However, it wasn't something easy to do. It was far more difficult than breaking the Liudao Sect apart.

For a long time, the Liudao Sect was plagued by internal strife. Their conflicts had been suppressed for hundreds of years, and all they needed was a spark to set them off. Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused such a huge commotion just from the news of three Nascent Soul stage cultivators going missing!

However, it was still possible to change the sect leader of the Tianling Sect.

It was because the current Tianling Sect Leader would be in danger because of the devil's arrival. At that time, he only needed to drag him down.

"Then I need to be at least rank 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage!"

After all, it wasn't something an ordinary person could do, and it had to be done with reason.

The plan didn't have to be seamless, but it had to be reasonable.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu continued to refine elixirs after cleaning up. However, he didn't continue to refine Core Spirit Elixirs. Instead, he started to refine the Spirit Summoning Elixir. It was because he had only prepared the required ingredients to refine two furnaces of Core Spirit Elixirs. Hence, he had to exchange for more spirit herbs.

Two days later, Fang Jinyu officially began his closed-door cultivation.

[Today is a day of hard cultivation to refine the Core Spirit Elixir.]

[Refined spiritual power of elixirs 1]

Although Fang Jinyu had no idea how he managed to extract such a thing today, he understood more about the elixirs after he had mastered them.

At this moment, Fang Jinyu could refine eight Core Spirit Elixirs even if the spirit herbs lacked spirituality!

For some unknown reason, Fang Jinyu felt as if he had become a different kind of Holy Alchemist.

Other Holy Alchemists could refine elixirs that were beyond their stage, but Fang Jinyu could refine elixirs of quality and quantity with all kinds of spirit herbs that lacked spirituality.

"When spiritual energy disappears, my alchemy skills will become valuable…"

Fang Jinyu cursed in his heart and continued on his path of cultivation.

Although people said that all medicine was 30% poisonous, Fang Jinyu felt cool about increasing his cultivation base by consuming elixirs.

When Fang Jinyu ended his closed-door cultivation, he was already ranked 5 in the Foundation Establishment stage. His breakthrough had been extremely smooth, and he didn't encounter any bottlenecks at all. It was probably because he had to sort out his cultivation techniques before he could break through the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment.

"There's still one Core Spirit Elixir left…"

Fang Jinyu glanced at the last of the third version of Core Spirit Elixir in the jade bottle and shook his head in regret.

Fang Jinyu had already consumed seven third-version of Core Spirit Elixirs. Now that he had broken through rank 5 in the Foundation Establishment stage, the elixirs were no longer effective to him.

If Fang Jinyu hadn't consumed it before, he could use it to improve his cultivation.

"But I can sell it when I want."

Fang Jinyu kept it and left. When he reached the door, he found a few Messenger Talismans there.

They were all sent by strangers. Fang Jinyu knew none of them.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but feel the situation strange, so he listened to all the messages in the Messenger Talismans.

"Eh?"

Soon, Fang Jinyu showed a strange expression. The Messenger Talismans were all here to ask for his help refining the Core Spirit Elixir. However, they didn't want the most common basic version of Core Spirit Elixir, but rather the elixir that was refined by increasing or decreasing the number of spiritual items according to their cultivation base.

The reason why cultivators came to Fang Jinyu was that the Core Formation stage cultivator surnamed Qi had advertised his alchemy skills…

56 The Fragile Girl

The Core Formation stage cultivator with the surname Qi initially had no desire to promote Fang Jinyu's alchemical abilities. It was just that he stated in front of everyone in Mount Tianling that Fang Jinyu was not suspicious. The basis for that was that Fang Jinyu was good at refining Core Spirit Elixirs.

The basic version of Core Spirit Elixirs was worth more than 10000 spirit stones.

...

Not to mention the enhanced Core Spirit Elixirs! Fang Jinyu could purchase a decent middle-grade spirit tool by only selling one elixir!

However, Fang Jinyu had already refined four of these elixirs.

Fang Jinyu didn't put the first batch of elixirs into the "mystery realm." He had only placed them in the Hundred-Treasure Box. Hence, it naturally couldn't hide from a Core Formation stage cultivator's divine sense.

Who would dare disregard the advice of a great Core Formation stage cultivator, even though the Core Formation stage cultivator with the surname Qi did not consciously aid Fang Jinyu in publicizing his alchemy abilities?

In addition, the others took seriously what the Core Formation stage cultivator with the surname Qi said. After people inquired about Fang Jinyu's reputation, many cultivators who were at the same stage as him sent invitation letters to him.

The Messenger Talisman had many uses. It could be used to leave a message, so it could be used as a token or an invitation letter.

Hence, Fang Jinyu appeared on Mount Jinsui an hour later.

It was one of the 72 peaks of the Tianling Sect. Although there was nothing special about the mountain scenery, much spiritual rice was planted there. The annual income of spirit stones was said to be twice that of Blossom Dew, which was produced on Mount Goddess.

The peak leader of Mount Jinsui was also a Core Formation stage cultivator.

The one who had invited Fang Jinyu here was the son of the peak leader's disciple, Ning Daoan.

Ning Daoan's father was only an ordinary sect disciple and his father had passed away a long time ago. It caused that although Ning Daoan was still under Mount Jinsui's peak leader, his status was naturally far inferior to that of the offspring of the other peak leader's disciple.

Otherwise, Ning Daoan wouldn't have come to Fang Jinyu for an elixir to break through his cultivation base.

After all, it was easy to get shade by leaning against a big tree. Normally, Ning Daoan could easily get the elixirs he wanted while he was under such a great Core Formation stage cultivator.

Even if he didn't have enough spirit stones, he could still settle the accounts.

People with special status naturally received different treatment from ordinary sect disciples, even though the situation in the Tianling Sect wasn't as extreme as it was in the Liudao Sect.

"Junior Brother Fang, thank you for helping me refine the elixir!" Ning Daoan was only a cultivator who ranked 4 in the Foundation Establishment stage, but he addressed Fang Jinyu as his junior brother.

Fang Jinyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Ning." Although he didn't mind, he was a little speechless.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Why is Ning Daoan so confident of his status when he is already under such circumstances?"

Afterward, Fang Jinyu collected all the spirit herbs that Ning Daoan gave him.

Ning Daoan couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Fang, when will my elixir be refined?" After all, he had paid a huge price to get the spirit herbs.

"I don't have to refine it. Here you go. This Core Spirit Elixir just so happens to meet your requirements." Fang Jinyu said it as he took out the remaining Core Spirit Elixir he had eaten.

It was also the reason why he had come to Mount Jinsui first to meet Ning Daoan.

Ning Daoan was stunned and thought, "There is a spot elixir?" He then hurriedly examined it carefully and found that it was true. He couldn't help but feel happy.

However, in the next second, Ning Daoan started to regret giving Fang Jinyu the spirit herbs.

If Fang Jinyu had made a lot of efforts to refine the batch of elixirs, Ning Daoan wouldn't mind Fang Jinyu just giving him one elixir. However, Fang Jinyu already had spot elixirs with him. It meant that Fang Jinyu would take away all the spirit herbs that he obtained by owing people favors. The situation made Ning Daoan feel uncomfortable.

However, each cultivator was aware that the alchemists would hold ownership of all the spirit herbs that remained after the elixirs were refined. Moreover, Ning Daoan didn't pay Fang Jinyu this time.

Therefore, Ning Daoan couldn't help but say, "Junior Brother Fang, you have great alchemy skills to earn spirit stones easily."

"Senior Brother Ning, you only see how alchemy earns me spirit stones, but you don't know how it spends my spirit stones!" Fang Jinyu didn't mind Ning Daoan being sulky toward him. Besides, he was in a good mood. It was because Ning Daoan's spirit herbs were enough for him to refine the next version of the Core Spirit Elixir.

Other alchemists couldn't refine the Core Spirit Elixirs that could help one break through to rank 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage from rank 5 because they lacked spirituality.

However, it was perfect for Fang Jinyu.

At most, it would only reduce the number of refined elixirs!

Afterward, Fang Jinyu prepared to return to his immortal estate and continue refining elixirs.

As for the others' invitations, Fang Jinyu would meet them next time.

It was more important to work hard to improve his cultivation base!

However, when Fang Jinyu returned to Mount Xiaohe, he saw a girl he had met once before standing at the door.

The girl's face was pale and bloodless, and her body was as thin as a stick. Although she stood in front of the immortal estate with a natural expression, enjoying the gentle mountain breeze with her eyes closed and smiling, she gave Fang Jinyu the feeling that she could die at any time.

"Is she also a distant relative of the former Fang Jinyu?"

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but think.

The book once mentioned that one of the elixir stores in the Seven Treasures Immortal City had an old man called Elder Sun, who had a grudge against the Liu family. Elder Sun had a granddaughter. She needed 10 Foundation Establishment Elixirs to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. However, Fang Jinyu had no idea what Elder Sun's granddaughter looked like.

After all, Elder Sun's granddaughter had been buried for many years when she appeared in the story.

Elder Sun's granddaughter had a Yanling spirit root, which was not inferior to the Tianling spiritual root. However, she could only die with regret due to the lack of cultivation resources.

On the other hand, Fang Jinyu thought of it and quickly took a few steps forward. After all, she might be a distant relative of his, and he couldn't let her die in front of his immortal estate. He wanted to avoid her death bringing him bad luck… No, he wanted to avoid being sad because of her death.

Fang Jinyu cupped his fists and asked, "Junior Sister, may I know what brings you here?" Since he wasn't sure if they were his distant relatives, he addressed her according to her cultivation base.

The extremely weak young lady before Fang Jinyu was also a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

"Are you Senior Brother Fang Jinyu?" Sun Xinyu also saw Fang Jinyu. She thought, "His looks are above average, but he gives people a sense of magnanimity." When she recalled the content she had asked about before, she quickly returned the bow.

Fang Jinyu nodded and said, "It's me."

"Senior Brother Fang, I'm here to request your assistance in creating a furnace of elixirs that can restore my vitality." Sun Xinyu quickly told him the elixir she wanted.

Fang Jinyu's expression turned odd as he listened to her request. Since he had a few elixirs that can restore one's vitality, he nodded and said, "No problem."

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Fang!"

Fang Jinyu accepted Sun Xinyu's spirit herbs, then took out a bottle of elixirs from his immortal estate and gave it to her. Sun Xinyu was stunned for a moment.

However, Sun Xinyu didn't say anything, because the elixirs were indeed beneficial to her.

Afterward, Sun Xinyu bid Fang Jinyu goodbye.

Fang Jinyu didn't think much of it until a familiar text box appeared.

[Today is a day of selling elixirs and collecting spirit herbs.]

[Refined the fourth female lead's hobby 1]

"What's this?"

Fang Jinyu thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He thought, "What kind of hobby is this?" However, the next second, he realized something more important.

"The fourth female lead?"

"Isn't there only Su Yier and Du Maner?"

"Then who's the third female lead?"

Fang Jinyu was dumbfounded, and then he couldn't help but think of a story. "One monk carries water with a carrying pole, two monks carry water together, and three monks don't have water to drink. What about four?"

57 The Deviation in the Plot

Of course, Fang Jinyu had no idea what would happen to the four monks. However, his relationship with the "fourth female lead" had become closer.

After all, Fang Jinyu had met two people that day, and he could rule out Ning Daoan first.

...

So it could only be the extremely fragile junior sister.

"Why do I feel like this world is already in complete chaos?"

Fang Jinyu muttered to himself, feeling a little guilty. Perhaps it was his illusion, but he felt that the three extra female leads were all related to him.

"Illusion! It must be an illusion!"

Fang Jinyu steadied his mind and quickly stopped the various thoughts in his mind.

Since Fang Jinyu didn't even know who the third female lead was, how could the extra female leads be related to him?

On the other hand, Fang Jinyu was certain that Su Yier's cultivation speed would be reduced by a notch.

Although it had nothing to do with Fang Jinyu, he secretly felt happy.

It was because when the female protagonist slowed down in her cultivation, the events that she had to face and the trouble that she caused would also be reduced accordingly.

After all, Fang Jinyu couldn't possibly allow Ling Xiaojiu, who had just broken off his engagement, to go directly against the final boss, right?

"I must break through the Core Formation stage before the four of them! Of course, it's fine if I'm one step later than them!"

Fang Jinyu had set a small goal for himself.

After all, he was an adult. He had to know how to leave a way out for himself.

On this day, Fang Jinyu prepared to go start his closed-door cultivation again. If he didn't do so, Sun Xinyu would probably come looking for him again. The two of them had become familiar with each other because she would come to his aid in elixir refinement every few days.

Of course, the fourth female lead was also generous, which made Fang Jinyu unable to find a reason to refuse.

However, before Fang Jinyu could activate the restrictive enchantment, someone came to his surprise.

Fang Jinyu asked, "Junior Sister Xin, why are you still ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage?" It was Xin Qianqian. They hadn't seen each other in a while. The last time they met was at Mount Lingjian, but it was only a glance.

"Senior Brother, don't mention it…"

Xin Qianqian sighed and told Fang Jinyu of the unlucky incidents she had recently encountered. First, she was called to Mount Lingjian to help in decorating the wedding ceremony. However, after they had spent half a year decorating Mount Lingjian, they were ordered to demolish everything. Since it was an urgent matter, they had to finish it within three days.

"Aren't they just wanting to torture us?!" Xin Qianqian was aggrieved. She was exhausted by the situation, even though she was a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage. Due to their low cultivation bases, a few junior sisters from Mount Goddess fainted a few times while demolishing the decorations.

All the decorations were related to restrictive enchantments, and some of them were even closely connected to array formations.

They weren't easy to install and were also difficult to remove.

After all, the decorations once covered the entire Mount Lingjian when it was set up, which was a large area. It was indeed difficult for a group of Qi Condensation stage disciples to remove all of them in three days!

Xin Qianqian pouted as she complained to Fang Jinyu.

Previously, Xin Qianqian didn't dare say it to anyone else. After all, nobody knew what the others were thinking. Who knows whether her senior and junior sisters, who had been close to her in the past, would betray her?

However, Xin Qianqian was at ease when she was talking to Fang Jinyu!

Almost everyone in the Tianling Sect knew Fang Jinyu was a benevolent person! There were even rumors outside the Tianling Sect! Some of the rumors even come from the Liudao Sect!

When Fang Jinyu heard it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Did the Lich King abduct Su Yier?"

Otherwise, Ling Xiaojiu wouldn't have been so embarrassed that he didn't even put on a show. He immediately asked the disciples to remove all the decorations from Mount Lingjian.

Fang Jinyu complimented, "The Lich King is quite efficient!"

Fang Jinyu then realized the young girl who was complaining just now was fast asleep while leaning against him. It seemed that the three days of demolition had worn her out.

In his heart, Fang Jinyu cursed Ling Xiaojiu and the Mount Goddess seniors for their inappropriate actions. Afterward, he carried Xin Qianqian and found a comfortable place for her to lie down.

Fang Jinyu didn't have a bed in his immortal estate.

The only place Fang Jinyu could sit was on a futon. It was for his cultivation.

However, Fang Jinyu could conjure a bed out of thin air even though he hadn't had one in the past. It was a support-type spell that allowed him to summon furniture wherever he was, based on his needs.

After letting Xin Qianqian lie down, Fang Jinyu walked out of his immortal estate. He immediately opened the restrictive enchantments and array formations inside his immortal estate.

After all, it wasn't convenient for Fang Jinyu to refine elixirs in his immortal estate while Xin Qianqian was around.

Moreover, Fang Jinyu felt that he couldn't miss such an interesting event that happened in Mount Lingjian. He didn't mean to spread rumors, but he had to know the details.

Otherwise, Fang Jinyu wouldn't be happy to laugh secretly without the details.

At this moment, in Fang Jinyu's immortal estate, Xin Qianqian, who had been sound asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. She looked shy and angry at the same time and said, "Dumbo."

Xin Qianqian thought, "I shouldn't have had any expectations of Fang Jinyu in this aspect."

…

Fang Jinyu wanted to inquire about the details of Mount Lingjian's incident. However, it wasn't easy to ask in such a secretive manner, and it would be troublesome to ask directly. Hence, he had no choice but to look for Qing Fu.

However, Fang Jinyu couldn't find Qing Fu.

The situation surprised Fang Jinyu, but he didn't think much about it. He just followed his senses into the mystery realm and slowly moved forward. Since both of them had opened up their mystery realm, they could sense each other's presence.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu finally found Qing Fu. However, he noticed that the little girl was acting sneaky.

"Why are you acting like a thief?"

"How did you know?" Qing Fu was slightly shocked.

"So what did you do?" Fang Jinyu was also slightly shocked.

"You don't know?" Qing Fu glanced at him.

"How would I know?" Fang Jinyu glanced at her.

"Then you can pretend you didn't ask." The little girl blinked her eyes and tried to get away with it.

Fang Jinyu said sincerely, "Then don't look for me to solve the trouble you caused."

The little girl asked hesitantly, "If I tell you, will you help me solve it?"

"Of course!"

Fang Jinyu's attitude was firm. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time. He had wanted to use the opportunity to make a good impression, but the little girl was inexplicably honest and well-behaved, not giving him a chance at all.

Qing Fu immediately said happily, "Alright then. I helped a depressed girl leave the place that made her suffer."

"That's all?" Fang Jinyu was surprised.

"That's all!" The little girl blinked her eyes.

Fang Jinyu asked, "Did you hide anything from me?"

"No, I didn't."

"Did you miss anything?"

"I didn't miss anything either." The little girl shook her head repeatedly.

Fang Jinyu nodded. He then pointed at Qing Fu's back and asked, "Can you explain why this great cultivator from the Lich tribe is looking at you like that?"

Meanwhile, an attractive man with a feminine aura entered Fang Jinyu's field of vision. Moreover, an extremely thick, striped giant tail was swaying left and right behind the man.

58 Doubting the World

The handsome man with a tiger tail showed a complicated but gloomy expression. It made Fang Jinyu subconsciously move two steps away and hid behind Qing Fu.

As the saying goes, an army can be trained for a thousand days just to be used anytime.

...

At this moment, Fang Jinyu thought it was better to let Qing Fu solve the situation!

Since he was just a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he could only wave flags and cheer for them.

The situation was the same logic as dog owners raising dogs. When they were in danger, they hoped that their dogs, who were usually well-fed and served, would bravely pounce on the criminals.

However, Fang Jinyu noticed that Qing Fu had also taken two steps back, and then quickly hid behind him. She only revealed half of her face from the side of his legs.

The situation made Fang Jinyu couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Shit!"

"You're even less reliable than a Border Collie!"

Fortunately, the handsome man with a tiger tail didn't intend to attack them. They only heard him say, "Help me tell Su Yier that Qin Haoyue's incident has nothing to do with me. If I were the one who did it, Ling Xiaojiu would be the first to be in trouble! I, the Lich King, am not such a weak person."

After the Lich King finished his words, he became a stream of light and disappeared without a trace.

Fang Jinyu's eyes widened in shock.

The Lich King could switch between his virtual and physical form, appearing and dispersing at will!

It showed that the Lich King wasn't a Core Formation stage cultivator, but a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

Fang Jinyu thought, "No wonder this fellow can secretly enter the Tianling Sect." The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster of the Tianling Sect was already at the late-stage Nascent Soul many years ago and was known as one of the strongest cultivators in the Nine Desolations. However, the other Nascent Soul stage cultivator could still be unexplored if he deliberately hid his strength.

The difference in strength between Nascent Soul stage cultivators in different ranks was huge. The difference between each rank of cultivation base was like the difference between heaven and earth.

However, it was extremely difficult for a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to kill another.

If an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator wanted to escape, then a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be able to completely stop him even if he used all his might.

At most, he could only hurt him.

It was also the same case for the Lich King, who was able to kill cultivators who ranked 1 or 2 in the Nascent Soul stage, which was beyond his cultivation base.

However, there was no need to care about it.

It was because the Lich King was different from the book's description, he wasn't a Core Formation stage cultivator. Furthermore, from what he had said, it seemed like he had known Su Yier for a long time. They seemed to have known each other much earlier than the time described in the book!

"Did I really transmigrate to a novel?"

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but have the thought. Then, he realized that someone was looking at him.

Fang Jinyu looked over and wasn't surprised to see the little girl.

For a moment, their eyes met.

They stared at each other.

After a while, seeing that Qing Fu didn't show any signs of awkwardness, Fang Jinyu couldn't help but sigh at her being thick-skinned. At the same time, he asked, "The wedding banquet on Mount Lingjian was canceled because you helped Su Yier escape?"

"I brought Su Yier to leave fair and squarely." Qing Fu's tiny brows furrowed as she corrected Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu rolled his eyes at her and thought, "What's the difference?"

Fang Jinyu didn't ask Qing Fu about how she brought Su Yier out. After all, according to Ling Xiaojiu and the Lich King's reaction, Qing Fu didn't bring Su Yier out in a proper way. Fang Jinyu only asked, "Why did you help her?"

"She always comes to disturb me while I count the stars. She's so noisy and annoying!" Qing Fu said it while showing a dissatisfied expression.

Fang Jinyu was speechless.

What an incomprehensible reason.

Fang Jinyu continued and asked, "Where did she go after she left the Tianling Sect?"

"She told me she wants to visit the Qin family first, but I don't know which Qin family she mentioned. She just said it randomly, so I didn't listen to her carefully."

After Qing Fu finished her words, a stream of light suddenly appeared not far away and then disappeared in an instant.

Meanwhile, a powerful aura descended as if it could suppress the heavens.

"Fellow Daoist from the City of Liches, why didn't you visit me to have a cup of tea since you've come to the Tianling Sect?"

The Lich King immediately said, "Please forgive me…" He abruptly stopped talking, and it went silent. However, the aura of the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster dissipated after that. Their divine senses had reached an agreement or finished communicating.

Fang Jinyu's eyes widened slightly. He didn't expect the Lich King to still be nearby. He only pretended to leave just now, and he really left as soon as he found out about Su Yier's whereabouts. However, Fang Jinyu was more surprised that the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster was familiar with the Lich King.

Fang Jinyu then turned to look at the little girl.

However, Fang Jinyu saw her excited little face.

Qing Fu said in a low voice, "See, I didn't lie to you, right? Even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator won't be able to discover it!"

Fang Jinyu understood what she meant. She was talking about the "mystery realm!"

Thus, Fang Jinyu nodded.

If the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster found out a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator like Fang Jinyu had a portable space, he would question him even if he didn't care about the matter. He wouldn't completely ignore him like he was doing now.

In this case, his plan was feasible!

Fang Jinyu planned to continue to gain Qing Fu's favor! After all, she had provided an extraordinary secret technique that even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator couldn't sense. It was a peerless technique!

It was just… Fang Jinyu had only just realized Qing Fu wasn't a kind person.

Afterward, the two of them, who had nothing to say, looked at each other again, then turned around and left.

…

Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster was frowning slightly on Mount Guiwang.

"I don't know when, but there are a few more powerful lucks in the Tianling Sect. Although three of them have traces of the other world, the other two are spontaneous."

When cultivators reached his stage, luck was no longer so mysterious and invisible. Although the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster couldn't see it clearly, he could still sense it with the sudden inspiration of his cultivation base.

He could sense that there were five powerful streaks of luck in the Tianling Sect!

However, he needed to find out who the owner of the luck was.

"Wait. The most obvious trace of luck from another world isn't in the Tianling Sect anymore…" The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster slightly changed his expression, and he was about to summon the sect's Core Formation stage cultivators.

It was the best opportunity to find the owner of the trace of luck from another world!

However, the moment he took out the Summoning Talisman, he used his fingers like a sword and wiped it out.

"I can't ask the Core Formation stage cultivators to solve the matter…"

Despite his best efforts to keep things in balance, the noble cultivation families had far too many advantages. In addition, the relationship between the families in the sect was complicated. Hence, if he asked Core Formation stage cultivators to solve the matter, they would definitely alert their enemies!

"How about Foundation Establishment stage cultivators…"

The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster thought of different names and quickly locked onto two people.

He raised his hand, and two Summoning Talismans appeared.

Afterward, they were sent.

A moment later, Fang Jinyu, who had just returned to Mount Xiaohe, saw a talisman flying towards him.

59 You're Slacking Off?!

The moment Fang Jinyu received the Summoning Talisman, he realized the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster of Mount Guiwang summoned him. He didn't dare to hesitate and immediately rushed to Mount Guiwang.

When Fang Jinyu arrived at Mount Guiwang, he found a woman with a serious look on her face who was about to head up the peak.

...

"She ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Fang Jinyu glanced at her and was certain that she had also been summoned by the Grandmaster.

As a result, Fang Jinyu didn't rashly greet her but went up to Mount Guiwang with her.

The woman also sized up Fang Jinyu, and when she saw that he had ascended to Mount Guiwang, her eyes revealed a hint of surprise. However, she didn't say anything.

Just like that, the two of them walked up to Mount Guiwang. Then, as the sea of clouds changed, they met the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster.

"Greetings, Grandmaster!"

"Great, you're here. You two can get up now." The Grandmaster was still the same as before, looking like a young man. It should be because he was in his thirties when he broke through the Core Formation stage, which made him forever look young.

The Grandmaster responded casually and began to explain why he had summoned Fang Jinyu and the woman.

"I asked you to come here to investigate the disciples who have left the sect in the past few days."

"Yes." Fang Jinyu and the woman responded in unison.

"You've damaged your foundation when you failed to break through to the Core Formation stage. This elixir can help you recover." The Grandmaster took out an elixir and gave it to the woman. He then looked at Fang Jinyu and said, "This is a Lightning Strike Stone, but it's a pity that a part of its spirituality has been damaged. However, if you find an outstanding weaponsmith, you can still get a middle-tier spirit tool or even a high-tier spirit tool."

"Thank you so much, Grandmaster!"

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but be overjoyed. He had been longing for a lightning-attribute spiritual item for a long time. He had not expected to obtain it from the Tianling Sect's Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster!

The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster said, "You don't have to thank me. This is the reward you deserve for doing this. Since I'm giving you these in advance, I hope you won't disappoint me in the end."

Those with great luck were mysterious. Even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like him didn't dare to provoke them easily, let alone get involved with them.

Otherwise, if one's luck wasn't as good as the other party's, one would be affected by the other party.

It was also the fundamental reason why the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster would give the task reward in advance. After all, it was a difficult task.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster sent Fang Jinyu and the woman off Mount Guiwang.

After Fang Jinyu sighed at the unfathomable methods of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator again in his heart, he looked at the woman and cupped his fists. "Senior Sister, how should I address you?"

"My surname is Jiao." The woman glanced at Fang Jinyu, her expression still cold and distant, but she replied to him.

"So it's Senior Sister Jiao." Fang Jinyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard it. The "genius detective" mentioned in the book was called Jiao Taohua. Since she hated her name, she would only say her surname when someone asked. She was a model example of an unlucky child who had been traumatized for life by her parents giving her random names.

"Yes."

The female cultivator who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage responded indifferently and turned to leave.

However, after walking for a while, she suddenly asked, "How should I address you, Junior Brother?"

At this point, Fang Jinyu was still certain that the female cultivator in front of him was the "genius detective", Jiao Taohua. It was because other than her unwillingness to tell others her name, she was a complete mess in the ways of the world.

If it wasn't for her talent, dual-attribute spiritual roots, and hard work in cultivation, as well as the many cultivation resources her parents had left her, she would have died for many years.

She might even be burnt into ashes. It was common practice in the cultivation world to destroy the corpse with a small fireball.

"Senior Sister Jiao, you can just call me Fang Jinyu."

After getting Fang Jinyu's response, Jiao Taohua nodded and flew away on her spirit tool.

Fang Jinyu shook his head slightly and thought, "Jiao Taohua's behavior is exactly as described in the book."

"Speaking of which, most of the descriptions in the book match up. Other than the change in the plot, the only deviation is that the Lich King is in the Nascent Soul stage… Eh? Nascent Soul stage?"

At this moment, Fang Jinyu realized the key point.

"However, I'm still not sure yet… If there's another Nascent Soul stage cultivator who is different from the description in the book…" Fang Jinyu's gaze turned to Mount Guiwang.

Although the top-notch Nascent Soul stage cultivator in the Nine Desolations has always been the book's background character, he has been mentioned twice.

The first time, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster shouted, "Humans and demons can not coexist."

The second time was seven or eight years later when another cultivation continent crashed into the Nine Desolations. The Nascent Soul stage cultivator went to investigate and then disappeared.

For the first point, although the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster seemed to be very familiar with the Lich King, it couldn't prove that they had a good relationship.

Furthermore, the Lich King could be said to be the traitor to the entire Lich tribe.

The Lich King was even acknowledged by the human cultivators after he betrayed the Lich tribe.

Therefore, even if the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster and the Lich King were friends, it wouldn't affect his standpoint that "Humans and demons can not coexist."

As for the second point, Fang Jinyu could only wait until the other cultivation continent crashed into the Nine Desolations.

After all, it hadn't happened yet.

After that, Fang Jinyu began to search for the sect's information on smithing. He thought, "Why don't I become a weaponsmith rather than asking others to refine spirit tools? After all, it's just a matter of obtaining gains from the system!"

Fang Jinyu didn't desire to obtain many spirit tools. After all, his forte was still his great divine powers. His myriad transformation technique and lifeless thunderstorm technique were enough for him to have a high status among the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

However, Fang Jinyu could use another general method if he had a suitable spirit tool.

In contrast to the multiple layers of authority that were set up for elixir refinement, refining spirit tools didn't have as many obstacles. As long as one was in the Foundation Establishment stage, they could cultivate any spirit tool refinement technique they wanted.

In other words, the materials used in refining spirit tools had to be paid for out of their own pockets.

In addition, weaponsmiths couldn't enjoy the same treatment as alchemists. They couldn't sell spirit tools at the total cost of refining them.

Fang Jinyu focused on studying the spirit tool refining manual. As for the matter of investigating the disciples who had left the sect recently, the first person he thought of was Su Yier.

Even though Fang Jinyu didn't have any concrete evidence, he had a feeling that the person the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster was looking for was Su Yier!

After all, which of the other disciples of the sect would be as special as Su Yier?

Moreover, if it had nothing to do with the main character, could Su Yier still be called the main character?

Hence, Fang Jinyu planned to write down Su Yier's name in a few days and hand it over to the Grandmaster.

Of course, before that, Fang Jinyu still had to act like he was seriously investigating the situation.

Fang Jinyu pretended to tour the Tianling Sect's peaks while pretending to investigate after reading the manual and confirming that he lacked any talent for refining spirit tools. In reality, he was just taking a look at the scenery.

It wasn't until Fang Jinyu met Jiao Taohua that the "genius detective" said something shocking. "Junior Brother Fang, how dare you slack off on a mission assigned by the Grandmaster?!"

60 Going Too Far Is as Bad as Not Enough

Fang Jinyu asked calmly, "Senior Sister Jiao, why do you say that?"

Jiao Taohua didn't explain but she said, "The technique that I cultivate can greatly increase my divine sense. In addition, my divine sense is innately several times stronger than that of other cultivators at the same stage. It allowed my divine sense to break through the Core Formation stage when I was ranked 5 or 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage. However, my divine sense isn't as powerful as a Core Formation stage cultivator's divine sense."

...

Fang Jinyu understood tacitly.

Jiao Taohua was telling him that she had discovered that he was slacking off by relying on her powerful divine sense.

However, Fang Jinyu would never admit it. He replied naturally, "Senior Sister Jiao, you must be wrong. I've already found a suitable candidate."

"You found it?" Jiao Taohua was stunned and subconsciously said, "The disciple the Grandmaster asked us to find isn't an ordinary disciple."

"It's a coincidence."

Fang Jinyu repeated the lines he had prepared beforehand, "I just happened to hear about a junior sister who recently left the sect. Her departure was very strange because no one noticed it. However, she's engaged to a Core Formation stage martial uncle. Should we…"

Before Fang Jinyu could finish his sentence, Jiao Taohua said in disbelief, "A Core Formation stage cultivator will fall in love with a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator?"

Setting up an engagement wasn't as simple as having concubines.

It had an extraordinary meaning.

Therefore, a Core Formation stage cultivator would marry another Core Formation stage cultivator if they wanted to get married.

A Core Formation stage cultivator wanted to marry a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was inappropriate. Furthermore, it was more of a disadvantage for a Core Formation stage cultivator.

Fang Jinyu didn't respond.

After thinking for a moment, Jiao Taohua nodded and said, "Although I don't have any proof, she should be the person the Grandmaster is looking for. Since that's the case, let's go tell the Grandmaster!"

"Now?" Fang Jinyu was surprised. Being so diligent wasn't a good thing for a worker!

"Of course! Since we've discovered it, we naturally have to inform the Grandmaster as soon as possible!" Jiao Taohua said it with a look of righteousness.

Fang Jinyu had no choice but to follow her to Mount Guiwang.

However, Fang Jinyu couldn't go up this time, because the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster only let Jiao Taohua go up.

Fang Jinyu didn't mind.

Speaking of which, the book once mentioned that Jiao Taohua seemed to have tried to break through the Core Formation stage three times. On the third occasion, she took a risk out of desperation and died because of a Qi deviation.

Fang Jinyu was deep in thought. He had been puzzled before. After all, the probability of a dual-attribute spiritual root cultivator breaking through the Core Formation stage wasn't low. It was just that they wouldn't form a high-grade core.

However, as long as she had some opportunity after breaking through the Core Formation stage, she could still cultivate to become a middle-stage Core Formation cultivator.

However, Jiao Taohua failed.

Jiao Taohua even lost her life in the Qi deviation.

Fang Jinyu finally understood that going too far was as bad as falling short!

Jiao Taohua's overpowering divine sense was the sole cause of her moniker as a "genius detective". However, they had also become her shackles.

When she was a middle-stage Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, she had a divine sense comparable to that of the Core Formation stage cultivator.

What about now? How powerful was her divine sense as she ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage?

"She will fall short of success because she lacks quality, even if she has quantity." Fang Jinyu shook his head slightly and thought, "It's impossible all the benefits in the world be taken away by one person, right?"

At this moment, Jiao Taohua suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Jiao Taohua said solemnly, "Junior Brother Fang, I owe you a favor this time. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

Fang Jinyu smiled and said, "Then I'll thank Senior Sister Jiao first."

Jiao Taohua nodded and left with her spirit tool.

Fang Jinyu returned to Mount Xiaohe soon after. He opened his immortal estate but found that Xin Qianqian was no longer inside. However, the situation was within his expectations. After all, he had just activated the formations and restrictive enchantments that could prevent other people from entering.

One wouldn't be stopped by any formation or restrictive enchantment when leaving the immortal estate.

Xin Qianqian had left Fang Jinyu a Messenger Talisman before she left. She told him she was going to start her closed-door cultivation, and she could address him as her senior brother in public when they met again.

After reading it, Fang Jinyu resumed his closed-door cultivation.

Fang Jinyu would refine elixirs before he cultivated them.

As an ordinary cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, Fang Jinyu's life was simple and boring.

By the time Fang Jinyu ended his closed-door cultivation, though it wasn't snowing heavily, it was already autumn. Another half a year had passed.

Although Fang Jinyu wasn't busy to the point where he ignored the change of weather, he couldn't help but sigh.

Currently, Fang Jinyu's cultivation base has broken through rank 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage!

Fang Jinyu looked around and noticed many Messenger Talismans were on his door's restrictive enchantment. He slightly twitched his eyebrows and thought, "It seems like I can get free elixirs and spirit herbs again."

The fourth female lead, the extremely fragile Junior Sister Sun, sent the most Messenger Talismans.

Sun Xinyu needed Fang Jinyu's help in refining elixirs. Most of them were rare elixirs, which was Fang Jinyu's first time seeing their names.

Afterward, there was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with the surname Lu.

He requested Fang Jinyu's help to refine a furnace of Core Spirit Elixirs. The spirit herbs he provided were exactly the ones that Fang Jinyu could use to refine the next version of the Core Spirit Elixir.

"Why does he need me to refine elixirs for him when he has such a powerful family?"

Fang Jinyu was perplexed, but he thought for a while before moving toward Mount Zhonglin, which his fellow Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with the last name Lu had mentioned.

However, when Fang Jinyu arrived at Mount Zhonglin, one of the 72 peaks of the Tianling Sect, he found out that the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with the last name Lu had gone out for some business. He had left behind a Messenger Talisman, asking Fang Jinyu to go to a small immortal city to find him when he came. He also stated that he would pay for all the expenses.

Although Fang Jinyu had to take a big detour, he could reimburse the travel expenses. Moreover, he could use the elixirs he didn't need to exchange for the spirit herbs he needed. Hence, he was willing to do it.

Fang Jinyu went to the stargazing flying ship station near Mount Lingjian to ask for the prices. It wasn't only then that he found that there had been no cheap stargazing flying ship tickets recently. He could only take the superior-tier stargazing flying ship that would pass by that small immortal city.

"Senior Brother Lu, since I'm in a hurry to see you, you don't mind paying for the 50000 spirit stones for the ticket fees, right?" Fang Jinyu thought for a moment before boarding the stargazing flying ship.

Two hours later, Fang Jinyu arrived at his destination—the Monastic Immortal City.

Compared to the Seven Treasures Immortal City, even though there was a Core Formation stage cultivator in charge of the Monastic Immortal City, the Core Formation stage cultivator was only in name. He wouldn't appear in the Monastic Immortal City even once in ten years.

The entire area of the Monastic Immortal City was only one-tenth the size of the Seven Treasures Immortal City.

Therefore, it could be said that the good and the bad were living together in this city.

There were small sects, small noble cultivation families, and different kinds of rogue cultivators.

Fang Jinyu left behind the second Messenger Talisman from the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator surnamed Lu as collateral for the "ticket". After that, someone would naturally go to him to collect the spirit stones.

On the other hand, Fang Jinyu immediately went to the location where the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with the last name Lu mentioned in the Messenger Talisman. It was a valley outside the Monastic Immortal City.

Many mountains were around the Monastic Immortal City, but most of them weren't high mountains. Although it was located in a remote valley, Fang Jinyu could easily find it because it had the densest killing intent in the surrounding hundred miles. Hence, it was easy to find out.

However, Fang Jinyu didn't notice that someone discovered him as soon as he arrived at the Monastic Immortal City.

"Tell Brother Lu that the fish has taken the bait."

61 Thunder!

The one who spoke was a young cultivator in a light green robe. He didn't have a high cultivation base since he was only a Qi Condensation stage cultivator. However, he was famous among the young cultivators in the Monastic Immortal City.

As soon as he gave the order, someone immediately took out a conch-shaped low-grade spirit tool. After injecting some magical power into it, he spoke a few words to the spirit tool.

...

On the other side, in a valley, someone was also holding a conch-shaped spirit tool.

After the man heard the voice coming from the spiritual tool, he quickly turned his head and said, "Brother Lu, the guy with the surname Fang is here!"

If Fang Jinyu were to see "Brother Lu" the man was referring to, he wouldn't be unfamiliar with him. Instead, he could recognize him at a glance because "Brother Lu" was the mentally retarded young man, Lu Shaojun.

However, compared to the past, Lu Shaojun was even more arrogant.

Meanwhile, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was standing beside Lu Shaojun, flattering him. "Don't worry, Brother Lu. That brat will be easily captured since Fellow Daoist Liu and I are the leading lights of the operation. Not to mention your cousin is also assisting from the side."

"Father, you're right! Senior Liu is a cultivator who ranks 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage and is about to break through rank 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage! He is indeed the strongest cultivator among us rogue cultivators!" The one who said it was the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's son.

The father-and-son duo was good at flattering.

When Lu Shaojun heard their words, he was even more satisfied and immediately laughed loudly. He said, "Everyone, try to keep him alive! I'll have to settle the score with him since he offended me back then! When this matter is over, I will help you all ask for a furnace of Core Spirit Elixirs from my father! As for the Breakthrough Elixir that Daoist Brother Lu wants, I'll give it to you as promised!"

After hearing Lu Shaojun's last sentence, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who had been silent with his eyes closed as if he was cultivating, immediately opened his eyes and nodded slightly. He said, "Thank you, Young Master Lu."

He had been cultivating for more than 100 years and had been stuck in rank 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage for more than 10 years. If it weren't for the fact that he had no other choice, he wouldn't have agreed to help Lu Shaojun.

They didn't have to wait for long. Soon, someone arrived in the valley with a low-grade spirit tool.

The cultivator, who had the last name Liu and was ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage, exhaled a sigh of relief when he noticed the other party was using a spirit tool from the Tianling Sect. Rogue cultivators like him were most afraid of sect disciples who cultivated high-tier techniques and held middle- or even high-grade spirit tools. They simply existed in a different world from rogue cultivators like him.

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with the surname Liu thought, "A sect disciple who uses a low-grade spirit tool and is the Tianling Sect's standard disciple must have no background. Moreover, he cultivated standard techniques. Hence, he might give up his combat power for his cultivation base."

"As long as I am careful, it won't be a problem for me to kill such a sect disciple! It's not a big deal!"

He was ready to make a move.

He wanted to get the Breakthrough Elixir as soon as possible so that he could go back and breakthrough through his closed-door cultivation!

Although he was a rogue cultivator, he was naturally different from ordinary rogue cultivators since he was able to break through the Foundation Establishment stage. He was well aware of the importance of improving his cultivation base, so he mainly focused on improving it!

It was Fang Jinyu who had arrived at the valley, but as soon as he entered, he realized that something was wrong.

It was because he saw Lu Shaojun.

Fang Jinyu had obtained a few gains in improving his vision before. Hence, even though he had never cultivated any great divine powers to enhance his vision, he was still able to see clearly from miles away, even if he wasn't eagle-eyed.

Therefore, Fang Jinyu looked around and found that there were three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and two Qi Condensation stage cultivators.

Fang Jinyu ignored the Qi Condensation stage cultivators.

Among the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, one was ranked 6, one was ranked 5, and one was only ranked 1.

Fang Jinyu looked at the cultivator who ranked 5 in the Foundation Establishment stage and teased, "Senior Brother Lu, did you go through so much trouble to call me over just to find someone to ambush me here? It must be hard for you guys to wait for me here for a few months, huh?"

"You rank 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage?!" The cultivator who ranked 5 in the Foundation Establishment stage that Fang Jinyu was looking at, was shocked. He said, "Didn't you just break through the Foundation Establishment stage three years ago?"

Fang Jinyu casually replied, "I'm an alchemist. Isn't it normal for me to rely on elixirs to improve my cultivation base?"

"You're also an alchemist?!" When the cultivator who ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage with the surname Liu heard it, he couldn't help but be shocked. He immediately became hesitant.

He would dare to kill ordinary sect disciples, even if they were from the Tianling Sect.

Of course, he would do it secretly, not in public.

However, he didn't dare attack the Tianling Sect's alchemist because he wasn't sure if he had a Core Formation stage master.

Meanwhile, Lu Shaojun shouted, "Senior Liu, he has seen through our plan! He will complain to the higher-ups of the Tianling Sect when he returns! At that time, unless you escape from the Nine Desolations, the other sects will definitely be willing to cooperate with the Tianling Sect to capture you! I lost my cultivation base because of his complaint!"

However, Lu Shaojun's shout immediately made the cultivator who ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage with the surname Liu's expression darken. It wasn't because Lu Shaojun was right. It was as a result of the fact that Lu Shaojun's words amounted to an admission that they attempted to kill a sect disciple!

The cultivator who ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage with the surname Liu even urged to curse Lu Shaojun at that moment.

He swore in his heart, "Darn it! If I work for this fool again after this, I will be a damn dog!"

He then made his move.

The first to strike was the best. It was the valuable combat experience he had gained from countless fights. The saying "striking after the opponent's attack" could only be done when a cultivator with a higher cultivation base faced a cultivator with a lower cultivation base.

The cultivator who ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage with the surname Liu had brought out his trump card.

It was a middle-grade spirit tool!

However, as Fang Jinyu raised his hand, his magic power surged, and the lightning power filled the sky. The cultivator who ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage with the surname Liu was killed by Fang Jinyu's low-grade spirit tool at the moment his body froze.

It was the dominant aspect of having an authentic spirit bloodline.

If an ordinary cultivator at the same stage met a cultivator who had an authentic spirit bloodline, it would be like a son meeting his father.

As Fang Jinyu slowly landed, the people in the valley finally reacted and were instantly terrified. It was because the cultivator who ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage with the surname Liu was famous in the vicinity of the Monastic Immortal City.

He was known as one of the top ten rogue cultivators in the Monastic Immortal City!

Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu made another move. Afterward, an invisible wind gathered and formed a huge shadow behind him.

The remaining people in the valley had their faces suddenly turned pale when they saw Fang Jinyu's move. They immediately turned around and wanted to escape.

Fang Jinyu had his eyes on Lu Shaojun. Hence, when Lu Shaojun was about to escape, a huge shadow appeared in front of him. With this figure in the way, he had no chance to escape.

As the two huge phantoms overlapped, everyone could hear a blood-curdling scream. Lu Shaojun was crushed into meat paste by the two phantoms.

It was the power of the myriad transformation technique! Although the wind had no form, it could transform into the manifestation of a thousand blades!

However, although Fang Jinyu's actions were swift and decisive, killing two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the blink of an eye, the other three had already taken the opportunity to escape far away.

As rogue cultivators, they were allowed to be weak, but they must not fail to escape!

"You guys wanted to escape?"

However, Fang Jinyu didn't mind.

"Huh, do you think you can escape?"

Fang Jinyu was calm as he said indifferently, "Thunder!"

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder reverberated through the valley. The three people who had escaped fell to the ground, and blood flowed out of their seven orifices.

62 You Want Your Enemy to Be the Leader?!

The sound of thunder only lasted for a moment. It sounded abrupt, but it was natural.

However, one could only vaguely feel the terrifying power of the thunder if he saw the three corpses at the valley exit.

...

Even a cultivator who ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage would immediately die.

It was the power of the lifeless thunderstorm technique!

After that, Fang Jinyu began to regulate his breathing.

Fang Jinyu's great divine powers allowed him to destroy his adversary instantly, but they also used up a lot of his inner energy. If he hadn't broken through rank 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage, he wouldn't have been able to use the lifeless thunderstorm technique.

"I still need to develop a general fighting style that doesn't use up a lot of inner energy."

Fang Jinyu thought to himself.

After 30 minutes, Fang Jinyu regained his inner energy and started to check on his gains.

Soon, he finished checking.

It was because Fang Jinyu couldn't find any useful spirit tools among the corpses. The only thing that caught his eye was the cultivator who ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage's middle-grade spirit tool.

Lu Shaojun did have a middle-grade spirit tool with him, and it was even a defensive spirit tool. Made Fang Jinyu can't help but be amazed that Lu Shaojun was indeed the son of a rich family since he had such amazing equipment when he was just a Qi Condensation stage cultivator. However, it was unfortunate that when Fang Jinyu used the lifeless thunderstorm technique, the defensive middle-grade spirit tool broke.

The destructive power of a high-tier great divine power was even above that of a middle-grade spirit tool. Not to mention that Lu Shaojun couldn't fully activate the defensive spirit tool.

Otherwise, Fang Jinyu could repair the defensive spirit tool and use it again.

"They had hidden the good spirit tools somewhere, right?" Fang Jinyu sighed to himself and thought, "Since this world doesn't have a spatial artifact like a storage bag, nor does it have a storage ring that can store a small world but looks cheap. Therefore, a cultivator won't carry most of their wealth with them."

They usually would hide all their most precious items in a secret place.

Somewhere they kept a secret from their family.

As a result, occasionally, cultivators and mortals would unintentionally find priceless treasures left behind by their ancestors. It wasn't that their ancestors intended to leave it for their offspring. They simply wanted to hide it for themselves, but they were dead.

Fang Jinyu was surprised and said, "But come to think of it, how did Lu Shaojun manage to invite three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators?" Although the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators couldn't even last a single round against him, they were Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, not cabbages that could be found anywhere.

There must be some inside stories!

Thus, Fang Jinyu returned to Monastic Immortal City after disguising himself.

Fang Jinyu became more handsome after he obtained a few gains in his appearance. Hence, he made himself look more ordinary.

Fang Jinyu additionally created a furnace of elixirs to pass for a Core Formation stage cultivator.

All the cultivators in the Monastic Immortal City were startled by the appearance of an unfamiliar Core Formation stage cultivator in the city. It was especially Lu Shaojun's father, who was even more bewildered.

It was because although the Monastic Immortal City seemed to have complicated connections and endless disputes, nobody knew the rogue cultivators, small cultivation families, and small sects had allied long ago. The chaos was only a facade!

Moreover, Lu Shaojun's father was the leader of the alliance!

Back then, Lu Shaojun's father, a Holy Alchemist, had also paid a great price to become the leader.

Lu Shaojun's father had promised to give each of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the alliance one Core Spirit Elixir every three years!

Although it was only the most basic version of the Core Spirit Elixir, it was still a rare treasure for the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the Monastic Immortal City. Even if they couldn't use it, they could still exchange it for something they needed.

In addition, Lu Shaojun's father added that as long as cultivators in the Monastic Immortal City alliance had prepared the spirit herbs, they could ask him to refine a furnace of elixirs for them, regardless of their cultivation base.

Because of this, the Monastic Immortal City alliance's cultivators recognized him as their leader.

After all, strength was the deciding factor for cultivators!

In the Monastic Immortal City, two of the top ten rogue cultivators were ranked 8 in the Foundation Establishment stage. Their cultivation base was even a little higher than the Holy Alchemist!

In addition, the two small sects in the Monastic Immortal City each had three cultivators who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage!

Because of this, even though Lu Shaojun's father was a Holy Alchemist, the general public was not persuaded by the fact that he was a cultivator with a rank of 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage. After all, the benefits of the status enhancement belonged to him. How could rogue cultivators, disciples of small sects, and small cultivation families get any benefits?

At this moment, Fang Jinyu, who was pretending to be a Core Formation stage cultivator, had already learned about the division of power in the Monastic Immortal City, as well as the secret alliance known as the "Monastic Immortal Alliance."

Many late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators wanted to nominate Fang Jinyu to take over as head of the Monastic Immortal Alliance.

Although Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Monastic Immortal City were unfamiliar with the Core Formation stage cultivator and his background, it didn't matter. They felt it was fine as long as he was a great Core Formation stage cultivator!

As for the others, once the interests were linked, they didn't have to be worried that the Core Formation stage cultivator, whom they were unfamiliar with, would refuse to help.

In the end, an alliance was all about using each other.

As long as it could bring them more benefits, it didn't matter who the leader was!

There was no question that a genuine Core Formation stage cultivator would be far more advantageous than a Holy Alchemist in the Foundation Establishment stage.

At the very least, the Monastic Immortal Alliance would be able to turn darkness into light and completely control the entire Monastic Immortal City.

Unlike in the past, they had to pay tribute every year.

An Immortal City could only be called an Immortal City if there was a Core Formation stage cultivator in charge. Only then would it be recognized by the sects of the Nine Desolations.

Meanwhile, someone came to visit. It was the leader of the Monastic Immortal Alliance.

Which was Lu Shaojun's father.

Lu Yunting introduced himself, "Greetings, Daoist brother. I'm Lu Yunting. I'm chosen as the leader of the Monastic Immortal Alliance because I'm a Holy Alchemist with outstanding alchemy skills." He was currently the most anxious person in the entire Monastic Immortal City. After all, no matter how many benefits he offered, they couldn't be as great as what the Core Formation stage cultivator could offer!

Once the Monastic Immortal Alliance turned darkness into light, they would no longer need to pay tribute. It was enough to allow the major forces of the Monastic Immortal City to accumulate enough resources within ten years. Perhaps they would be able to have their own Core Formation stage cultivator!

Fang Jinyu smiled and said calmly, "So it's alchemist Lu. May I know the purpose of your visit?"

Lu Yunting said, "Then I won't beat around the bush. Daoist brother, let us govern the Monastic Immortal Alliance together! All you need is to show up for a moment."

It was the only solution Lu Yunting could think of.

Fang Jinyu couldn't help but show a weird expression and ask, "Together?"

However, Fang Jinyu's expression changed, which made Lu Yunting misunderstand the situation. Lu Yunting thought the Core Formation stage cultivator was dissatisfied and he quickly explained, "Daoist brother, If you become the leader of the Monastic Immortal Alliance as they say, then I'm afraid you won't have much time to cultivate in the future! I think you're also hesitating about this, which is why you didn't agree. However, it's different when we govern the alliance together! You only need to show up once every three to five years. At that time, you don't have to do anything and just need to show some of your power as a great Core Formation stage cultivator. Moreover, you can take 40% of the alliance's annual income! Isn't it a great idea?"

63 Another Cliché, Benefits From Picking up Scraps

Fang Jinyu agreed.

It was because when Fang Jinyu tried to hint to Lu Yunting that he wanted to cultivate his alchemy skills and some Foundation Establishment stage elixirs, Lu Yunting not only gave him all the Qi Condensation stage and the Foundation Establishment stage elixir prescriptions that he had kept for many years, but he also gave him a summary of his experience in alchemy over the years.

...

Lu Yunting smiled brightly and said, "Daoist brother, I won't let you regret making this decision! I'll have them prepare to take 40% of this year's earnings." After all, he thought he had created an illusion to scare people and kept his position. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Yunting felt it wasn't a big deal to give out the prescriptions and a portion of his elixir refining experience.

They were undoubtedly priceless things in the eyes of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. However, they were toys for practice in the eyes of Core Formation stage cultivators.

Furthermore, many great Core Formation stage cultivators would be drawn to refining elixirs because of their long lifespans.

Therefore, Fang Jinyu's request seemed extremely reasonable under Lu Yunting's preconceived notion.

As a result, Fang Jinyu amassed an enormous quantity of prescriptions and spirit stones.

The annual income of the Monastic Immortal Alliance was 5000000 spirit stones.

Forty percent would be 2000000 spirit stones.

Although Fang Jinyu was going to take away so many spirit stones, nobody objected to it. It was because they would receive more than they had in the past, even if they split the remaining spirit stones.

In exchange, Fang Jinyu had to appear in public once.

Fang Jinyu did as he was told.

It was because Fang Jinyu realized it would be extremely difficult for him to kill Lu Yunting without anyone noticing. Moreover, there was a high chance that he would not be able to kill Lu Yunting.

As a late-stage Foundation Establishment stage Holy Alchemist, Lu Yunting had mastered a type of spiritual fire!

Fang Jinyu could only temporarily suppress the idea of fighting a cultivator who was above his stage.

After Fang Jinyu appeared, he began to preach.

It was because Fang Jinyu couldn't display the skills of a Core Formation stage cultivator.

However, due to his consistent gains while cultivating in the Qi Condensation stage and the Foundation Establishment stage, Fang Jinyu's comprehension had already advanced to a level that few could match.

Everyone, regardless of whether they were a part of the Monastic Immortal Alliance, could attend the preaching. Therefore, it was very grand. The Foundation Establishment stage cultivators sat in front, and the Qi Condensation stage cultivators sat at the back. Even many mortals came to join in the fun.

After all, immortals and mortals lived together in Immortal Cities.

Fang Jinyu explained in great detail the various aspects of cultivation in the Qi Condensation stage, and then explained the key points of early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, which benefited most of the cultivators in the Monastic Immortal City.

The only ones who had no gains were the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. They could understand the intricacies of Fang Jinyu's explanation, but it was no longer useful to them.

It was because Fang Jinyu didn't mention a single word about the crucial point of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage without the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

"Thank you so much, Senior Han!"

The cultivators of Monastic Immortal City who had attended the preaching were all excited and thanked Fang Jinyu.

Han Feiyu was the name Fang Jinyu used to disguise himself.

Then, Fang Jinyu fled away.

Of course, Fang Jinyu told the outside world that he had gone to explore a desolate forbidden land.

Some small desolate forbidden lands were the main places for Core Formation stage cultivators to explore. Although his life would be in danger, as long as he was careful, the chances of him leaving the desolate forbidden land alive were still quite high.

Hence, no one doubted Fang Jinyu's words.

It was the same even for Lu Yunting, who had given Fang Jinyu a pile of prescriptions. In fact, Fang Jinyu was the happiest person to hear the news.

After all, Lu Yunting always felt stressed when "Han Feiyu" was around in the Monastic Immortal City.

Lu Yunting was ecstatic this time because the Monastic Immortal Alliance had succeeded in transforming the darkness into light. In addition to the flattery of others, the smile on his face lasted for half a month. Only then did he remember that he hadn't seen his son for almost half a month.

"Where did my son go?"

…

Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu had returned to the Tianling Sect.

First, Fang Jinyu left the Monastic Immortal City. He then disguised himself as a Qi Condensation stage cultivator before returning. Then, he bought the cheapest "ticket" for the stargazing flying ship out of his pocket.

However, the speed of Fang Jinyu's return couldn't be compared to when he left.

It only took two hours to travel from the Tianling Sect to the Monastic Immortal City by a superior-tier stargazing flying ship.

On the other hand, the low-tier stargazing flying ship took three days to travel from the Monastic Immortal City to the Tianling Sect!

However, since one ticket cost 50000 spirit stones while the other only cost 1000 spirit stones, it was inevitable that the difference in speed would be great.

The "ticket" price of the stargazing flying ship didn't take the distance into account. It was the same price no matter how long the journey was!

"Martial Uncle, Martial Uncle, where did you go?" When Du Maner saw Fang Jinyu, she quickly shouted and hurried over.

Fang Jinyu said, "Me? I've recently gone to do a small business that's quite profitable." He thought, "Spending 1000 spirit stones for 2000000 spirit stones in return is indeed a huge profit. If I didn't have a portable storage space, I couldn't bring back all the items worth 2000000 spirit stones."

Fang Jinyu immediately asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Du Maner said, "Martial Uncle, I'm not the one who is looking for you. It's just that a few martial uncles came to ask me where you were. They even went to find Junior Sister Qing Fu. In the end, it was Martial Aunt Xin from the Mount Goddess who came forward and blocked them."

Fang Jinyu asked, "Junior Sister Xin broken through the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Du Maner said with an envious tone, "That's right. Martial Aunt Xin also came to find you, but you weren't here."

"Don't be envious. You'll soon break through the Foundation Establishment stage too." Fang Jinyu said as he looked at her. It had only been half a year since they last met, but Du Maner was already ranked 7 in the Qi Condensation stage.

Due to her "protagonist destiny," Du Maner was able to advance her cultivation base so quickly, even though she had four-element spiritual roots.

Even if the other four-element spiritual roots cultivators consumed elixirs every day, they couldn't improve their cultivation bases as fast as hers.

After all, the absorption efficiency and the bottleneck were two major obstacles.

Fang Jinyu wanted to ask who had come to find him. He had not expected anyone to use it as an excuse to scheme against him because they were from the same sect. After all, the sect's rules strictly prohibited disciples from killing each other.

However, at this moment, a familiar text box appeared.

[Today is a day to build good relationships with the new protagonist.]

[Refined the new protagonist's future opportunity 1]

A small arrow appeared.

For the first time, Fang Jinyu didn't feel excited when he saw the small arrow. After all, he had broken through and ranked 6 in the Foundation Establishment stage. He only needed to take one more step to become a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Fang Jinyu said, "Martial Niece Du, let's go together. Can you tell me who came to find me?"

Du Maner didn't mind.

Fang Jinyu followed the small arrow. Soon, he saw the target of the arrow. It was a Qi Condensation stage disciple who showed a bitter face. He was holding something in his hand and complaining to someone.

Fang Jinyu released his divine sense and heard his complaint. He realized this person tried in vain to take advantage of the situation but failed.

He didn't really fail, as was to be expected.

The guy seemed to have a "newbie" look and peddled the item in his hand. Now that he saw Du Maner in the distance, he immediately ran over and said, "Junior Sister, I have a high-grade ancient treasure here. I'm selling it because I urgently need to buy an elixir that I've been interested in for a long time. Are you willing to buy it?"

The so-called ancient treasure was something left behind by the ancestors.

After all, cultivators had a habit of hiding things.

However, some items still had restrictive enchantments when they were dug out and couldn't be broken open by external forces since there were problems with the Hundred-Treasure Box, so they were being sold. As for what treasure was inside, it was all up to the buyer's luck.

It was like opening a blind box.

"Senior brother, you…" Du Maner was just about to refuse because she could tell that something was wrong with a single glance, but then she heard Fang Jinyu telling her to buy it.

At this moment, the cultivator was still trying to persuade Du Maner.

As a result, after pretending to listen to the cultivator's words, Du Maner pretended to be convinced and reluctantly took out spirit stones to buy.

The situation made the cultivator smile. He then found an excuse to run away after collecting the spirit stones because he was afraid that Du Maner would notice something was wrong.

Du Maner walked over and whispered to Fang Jinyu, "Martial Uncle, is there really a treasure inside?"

Fang Jinyu glanced at it and then opened the problematic treasure box.

Before Fang Jinyu had the small portable space called the "mystery realm", the only thing he could use to store his things in was the Hundred-Treasure Box. Since he had held it for a long time, he had accidentally triggered a few gains, which allowed him to know the structure of items like the Hundred-Treasure Box inside and out.

Instantly, a flash of spiritual light surged.

There was a superior-grade spirit tool in the Hundred-Treasure Box!

However, it was slightly damaged, so the spiritual light was a little dim, and the power it could exert was less than 10%.

"Take it!" Fang Jinyu saw that Du Maner intended to hand it over, so he shook his head.

Although it was useful to him, he wasn't interested in it.

It was because once Fang Jinyu broke through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment stage, he would have to look for the purple-volt spiritual fire.

"Thank you! Martial Uncle!" Du Maner was overjoyed, and then she couldn't help but say, "Martial Uncle, you're really lucky. Every time I go out with you, I can easily obtain treasures!"

Du Maner looked at Fang Jinyu as if he was her lucky star.

In her heart, Fang Jinyu had already become the embodiment of auspiciousness.

64 Two and a Half Years

Fang Jinyu thought, "Have you thought of the possibility that you are the lucky one?"

Fang Jinyu gazed at Du Maner deeply, but he didn't say anything.

...

In the mortal world, if one looked beautiful or handsome, their life would be as smooth as they could cheat on everything. However, although cultivators would look at a person differently because of their appearance, many cultivators would think that beautiful or handsome cultivators only had little life experience and would be easy to deceive, and thus chose to scam them.

For example, the Qi Condensation stage disciple wanted to sell the "blind box" to Du Maner.

Surprisingly, the aging of Du Maner's appearance, brought on by the reduction in her lifespan from consuming the Mortal-Transmutation Elixir, was disappearing as she strengthened her cultivation base.

Du Maner must have encountered a chance or acquired a unique high-tier technique, according to Fang Jinyu.

Thus, Du Maner looked like she was in her early twenties and still had a pure appearance.

However, it had nothing to do with Fang Jinyu.

Fang Jinyu continued the previous topic of their conversation.

Fang Jinyu then knew the identities of the people who had frequently come to find him!

They were all from the Qin family.

To be more precise, they were people from a certain part of the Qin family. They came to find Fang Jinyu to ask him to refine a furnace of elixirs for Qin Haoyue.

Qin Haoyue had recovered.

However, the person who attacked Qin Haoyue was too ruthless, which caused him to be unable to cultivate anymore.

In this case, Su Yier had shown the power of being the protagonist. She had found an ancient prescription and the core spirit herbs that were needed to refine the elixirs.

As long as someone could refine it, not only would Qin Haoyue be able to cultivate again, but he would also be able to recover most of his cultivation base!

Fang Jinyu was surprised and asked, "Why did they ask me to do it?" Meanwhile, he thought, "I know I'm good at refining elixirs, and I only need to familiarize myself with some Core Formation stage elixir prescriptions to refine Core Formation stage elixirs after obtaining Lu Yunting's alchemical insights. At that time, I can become a Holy Alchemist."

"However, I've just shown some common alchemy skills in the public… I didn't amaze anyone with my alchemy before…"

"The only time I exposed my alchemy skills was on Mount Lingjian."

"I've taken the opportunity to slightly revenge them and boost my reputation. However, people from the aristocratic cultivation families would know Lu Yunting wasn't sincerely praising me when they asked him about the situation."

"Even if they didn't ask, they could deduce the situation from the fact that I informed against Lu Shaojun and Chen Baxing."

"Although aristocratic cultivation families do have idiots, most of them are quite smart!"

Du Maner said, "It's because other members of the Qin family tried to stop people from treating Qin Haoyue, and the sect's other alchemists have all refused to refine a furnace of elixirs for him."

Fang Jinyu immediately understood the situation.

Although Qin Haoyue was the son of the Qin family's current leader, he couldn't directly inherit the position. If he didn't encounter any accidents, he would have a high chance to become the next Qin family's leader with the advantage of his father's position. However, since he was hurt, there was naturally no need to mention anything.

How could the other competitors of the Qin family tolerate and allow Qin Haoyue to recover?

"Then I'll start my closed-door cultivation for a year."

Fang Jinyu ran off as well.

Fang Jinyu thought, "Although I won't hit someone when they are down, expecting me to return good for evil… Huh, isn't that a fantasy?"

However, Fang Jinyu asked Du Maner to send a middle-grade spirit tool to Xin Qianqian to congratulate her on finally breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage before he started his closed-door cultivation.

After all, cultivators who broke through the Foundation Establishment stage were equivalent to people making a social status change in the mortal world!

It was also the fundamental reason why the Foundation Establishment Elixirs were monopolized and expensive when compared to other Foundation Establishment stage elixirs.

At Mount Xiaohe.

New array formations had already been added to Fang Jinyu's immortal estate. He got it from the Monastic Immortal City, a high-grade array formation spirit tool. The spirit tool was mainly used for defense. Even a few cultivators who ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage couldn't open it for a while as long as it was activated.

Moreover, Fang Jinyu also changed the restrictive enchantments in his immortal estate.

In addition, Fang Jinyu had made a puppet especially to tell people about his closed-door cultivation. As long as someone triggered the restrictive enchantments at the immortal estate entrance, the puppet would inform the other party about Fang Jinyu's closed-door cultivation.

Of course, both the high-grade array formation spirit tool and the puppet were standard spirit tools.

Although the spirit tools were a little ordinary, they had an advantage. As long as one had spirit stones, they could buy them no matter who they were or where they were in the Nine Desolations.

Therefore, the chances of determining that Fang Jinyu was Han Feiyu through standard spirit tools were not completely zero, but they were very low.

Fang Jinyu had officially begun his year-long, closed-door cultivation.

Fang Jinyu even made the puppet to remind him about the time and prevent himself from going too far.

It wasn't because something big was going to happen a year later, but because a year later would be the time for the Monastic Immortal Alliance to payout gains. Fang Jinyu was prepared to visit the Monastic Immortal Alliance again, and if he was lucky, he could claim the benefits for another four years, until the fifth year.

It was because every five years, the Core Formation stage cultivators from the various immortal cities would have a competition.

Firstly, Fang Jinyu refined a batch of Core Spirit Elixirs that were compatible with his current cultivation base to push his cultivation base to the limits of what a mid-stage Foundation Establishment could do. He had originally planned to refine a batch of Breakthrough Elixirs to break through the next stage. However, in the end, Fang Jinyu put away his superior-tier spiritual purple mystical alchemy furnace and began to study his techniques.

Fang Jinyu felt he had to sort out his current cultivation method.

As Fang Jinyu sorted things out, he realized there were problems while he kept relying on elixirs to improve his cultivation base. Even though he used cheats to keep from developing too many internal issues, he still accumulated a lot of obstacles to the free flow of his inner energy. It was also the main reason why he used so much of his inner energy when exercising his great divine powers.

Therefore, Fang Jinyu began to repair them one by one.

When Fang Jinyu's understanding of the supreme wind-thunder scripture had reached another level and he had successfully ranked 7 in the Foundation Establishment stage, two years had already passed.

At this time, it was autumn again.

The duration of his closed-door cultivation this time was far longer than Fang Jinyu had expected.

However, Fang Jinyu was satisfied with his gains.

Fang Jinyu had attained minor and major mastery in the supreme wind-thunder scripture and the lifeless thunderstorm technique. He also experienced an unexpected gain in his divine sense and an additional 30% increase in inner energy.

Fang Jinyu's inner energy had an additional 50% increase!

At this moment, Fang Jinyu's divine sense could cover the entire Mount Xiaohe, not leaving anything out.

"As expected of one of the top 100 techniques in the Nine Desolations."

Fang Jinyu sighed in his heart, then canceled the restrictive enchantment and walked out. The spiritual energy of the spirit stones had run out long ago, rendering the puppet immobile.

After Fang Jinyu changed the spirit stones, the puppet immediately took out a few Messenger Talismans.

Five of them were from the Qin family.

However, there was only one that asked Fang Jinyu to help refine the elixirs. As for the other four, some of them were tactful, while others were very direct. However, they only wanted him to know his limits and not get involved in the Qin family's matter.

Fang Jinyu sighed, "It seems like Qin Haoyue is living a hard life now…" He then ignored them and focused on other Messenger Talismans.

One of them was from the extremely weak Junior Sister Sun. As usual, she asked Fang Jinyu to refine her elixirs, and she would give him generous returns.

However, Fang Jinyu had never even heard of the name of the elixir she wanted.

Fang Jinyu had no idea where she found it.

There was also a Messenger Talismans, which was also the last one. It was from Xin Qianqian. She thanked Fang Jinyu and asked him to visit Mount Goddess' "Blossom Yard" if he finished his closed-door cultivation.

It was Xin Qianqian's current residence.
